Historic Steel From The Golden Gate Bridge

Strands of History

When you think of San Francisco, what comes to mind? It’s a magical place with a colorful history made by ordinary people with big dreams. Anyone who has ever lived or visited San Francisco views the Golden Gate Bridge as iconic and representative of their time in the City.

You can now have that piece of the City, no matter where you live. Strands of History makes unique San Francisco-themed gifts and mementos from the original Golden Gate Bridge suspender ropes. These sections of Golden Gate Bridge steel weigh a pound an inch! When you hold these sections of suspender rope, you can’t help but be impressed and mesmerized by the polished 229 individual pieces of wire arranged in a unique pattern only associated with the original design of the Bridge.

We were thrilled to have our designs featured in My Modern Met, Colossal, and DeMilked.

We can scale our designs for function or location. Strands of History can also cut these authentic pieces of Golden Gate Bridge suspender ropes to any length up to 11 feet. See our Shop page for details.

What our clients say

Dear Mary and Bob,

Words seem so inadequate to express the meaning of the Strands of History that sit nestled in its wooden holder in our living room. To think that in 1937 my 12 year old Dad and his cousin walked across the Golden Gate Bridge and then back. That one day was May 27, 1937. There were no vending machines full of bottled water or fancy water containers that we see today. Knowing they would be thirsty they each took a great big dill pickle with them!

My Dad died years ago but his memory and stories live on in my memory and are passed down through our family. Just as one day this awesome piece of history will be passed down when we are gone.

The workmanship, the kindness of Mary and Bob are truly rare. It is quite an honor to be able to hold The Strands of History and see the look on our children, our grandchildren and our great-granddaughter as we share the history and the meaning of owning a part of The Golden Gate Bridge. Their eyes light up when they hold it realize how heavy it is!

Sincere Gratitude,

EFW

I finally traveled to downtown Austin a few weeks ago to see my son’s new law office. I was so excited to finally see both the view and his office that I had forgotten about the 4″ steel cable piece I had sent him in March. But then, reeling me back in, it was actually the first thing he brought my attention to! It was great that he had it displayed with some of his other interesting gifts, where MOST people would immediately look.? He said that a good many of the firm attorneys had seen, handled and been impressed by it’s unique WEIGHT, history and appearance.

Zac still had the “Happy 40th Birthday” tag attached to it that you made for me Mary!

Thank you so much for all your extra time, emails and attention. I think this was just the right gift for my now, very successful son and his new office.

Perfect piece of golden gate history!

I want to commend Strands of History on their very fine product that we recently purchased as a gift to honor a retiring member of our faculty. We were all so very pleased with the finished product! The Golden Gate Bridge suspender rope memento is so unique to those who love the Bay Area and have a special connection or memory associated with the Golden Gate Bridge. We love how it affords the opportunity to highlight that specific aspect for an individual! We were so appreciative of the willingness on the part of Strands of History to arrange for a custom order and the gracious spirit, service, and attention to detail and follow-up that was exhibited throughout the process. Thank you! We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Strands of History’s Golden Gate cable is a stunning addition to my desk. Elegantly mounted in minimalist simplicity on a handsome wooden cradle, the cable is eye-catching, handsome and iconic. The company gladly customer designed my piece to have a golden look throughout. This is a high quality, aesthetically pleasing treasure and moments.
