We have a small number of original door knobs from old New York City Public Schools. Over 100 years old. Gorgeous deeply-embossed heavy brass. A few look to be bronze. These are NOT reproductions.
It's fascinating to think of such artistic care being taken with such a utilitarian item. These gorgeous knobs were very likely one of the most beautiful things in the daily lives of the immigrant children of New York.
We have done nothing to change the finish except to wipe them off. (See all the photo examples). Each knob has its own patina with varying amounts of age. All are in very good used condition. Some people like them darker with a lot of age, some prefer lighter with less age. At this point, we have some of each.
Though we prefer the aged appearance, you can always have them professionally polished to a brilliant shine. We have included one photo that compares a professionally polished know with an unpolished knob. .
We can’t absolutely guarantee they’ll work on your doors, but quite a few customers have been able to use them as working knobs.
Even if they won’t work as door knobs, these are little works of art and look great on a shelf or a desk. They are heavy and feel terrific when you pick them up.
Size 2.5" x 1.5". Original Public School City of New York door knobs like this are obviously in short supply and we only have a small quantity.
