Pair Yale & Towne Bronze Antique Doorknobs

These door knobs have a very delicate eight fold design of the quality Yale & Towne was known for. Made of wrought bronze in the very early 1900’s they remain in excellent condition with no dents, scratches or damage.

When found these knobs had a very uneven and unattractive patina so they have been polished to a medium shine. The lower areas in the design are a bit darker than shown in the photo due to the camera flash. Polish them more, let them gain patina or keep them just as they are – your choice!

Yale & Towne used a 3-part spindle during this time period that allows almost any door thickness while maintaining a nice tight fit. One end of the spindle is permanently attached to the knob (at least it is now) and the other knob has a set screw. Tightening the set screw at any point on the spindle creates pressure and expands the spindle to hold the knob in place. Pretty clever!

The knobs are sold by the pair. The above price is for 2 knobs and one spindle with set screw.
