DescriptionTwo brackets, each made of a narrow strip of what is possibly tin-plated brass. Each bracket is U-shaped, with an oval hole at the bottom of the U, and a round hole at the top of each side. Bracket .a is slightly taller, with rounded edges at the top of the U. One of the holes on the side is unevenly cut, and it is not perfectly round. Bracket .b is shorter and wider, with squared edges at the top of the U. One of the holes on the side of bracket .b has what appears to be solder adhered to the exterior side.
