These pressed glass (sometimes incorrectly referred to as crystal) doorknobs are from around 1940. In my opinion they are no longer suitable for use on a door since the ferrules have been drilled out. However, for you imaginative folks out there, they still have a multitude of uses as wine bottle... |

Although white porcelain doorknobs were rather common in the late 1800’s, these are anything but! They have a raised band that gives them a very unique look and feel. They are usually quite hard to find but I was fortunate to obtain several from a Victorian home in Rhode Island. They were found on... |

These white milk glass doorknobs have a unique doorknob shaft. They have a slit in the shaft for a special type of lock/spindle. If you have this kind of hardware you will recognize it.

It appears that this doorknob was painted gold at one time but it has acquired a unique character over time. The gold is very mellow now and you can see the chocolate color of the aged metal peeking through. There is a light dusting of white paint that is much more visible in the photo than in... |

This beautiful doorknob goes well with almost any type of architecture. It was once nickel plated but the nickel only remains in the central design area and a bit on the shaft.
