Before central heating became common, damper controls helped regulate airflow, fire intensity, and heat from fireplaces and wood-burning stoves.
Usually made from cast iron or steel, these simple controls were once an essential part of home heating systems.
Today, many no longer function, but their vintage designs make them fascinating pieces of old-home history.
Collectors and DIY enthusiasts now restore or repurpose them as unique decorative pieces.
