Nice work. The proper term is 'portlight', as it can open. A non-opening one (sometimes with an internal cover), is called a 'deadlight'. A porthole is any opening on a ship's hull.
Generally steel wire wheels are not used on brass. Deep scratches can develop. 😯 Not a fan of the "fade to black" between edits. That is for the final. A straight cut is better. Hunt up a proper hammer. They are not that expensive. 😉 Pretty good result from a rough original! Bet the customer would love a deeper brighter shine. 🌞
This is one of the oldest contraptions I've ever seen. It's when the 19th-century got started. This was right long before the battle for New Orleans/war of 1812 got started, and President Andrew Jackson was in command. Even just before John Paul Jones was at large! ✅️ 👌 👏 🙄 😂 🙌 ✅️
The porthole dates from 1912. It is a Wilcox Critterdon #5. I have one in my porthole collection.
Absolutely beautiful
