Pair Vintage Octagon Milk Glass Doorknobs

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.

Since a standard 1/4” square spindle inserts as with normal doorknobs these could be modified to work with a set screw. A hole would need to be drilled in the doorknob shaft so a set screw would attach to the spindle. You might want to cut the portion of the shaft with the slit off but the slit would probably be covered by the escutcheon doorknob collar if left alone.

These doorknobs show normal wear with light scratching. One is more shiny than the other. The shafts are nickel plated brass with minor wear to the nickel.

Price is for one pair of doorknobs.
