This antique doorknob set was salvaged from an old Victorian home in Oakland California that was to be demolished. The backplates measure just barely over 7 inches top to bottom, by 2 and 1/4 inches wide. The plates are a matching set and have openings for the knob, a skeleton key, and 4 screws. There is one knob (described below), but there is no key or screws.
As for the knob, it fits perfectly in the backplate but there is no hardware for the inner works of a doorknob. There is only one knob, so you’ll need a connecting knob for the backside.
I believe everything is made of brass.
Unknown age, but the guy I spoke to during the salvage said the house was built in the late 1800s. I do not know if this back plate set was original or not, but it is very old.
All three pieces have paint residue and you can see in my photo. I have not cleaned them. I'll leave the rustic look and the new owner can clean them if they choose to do so.
Buyer to pay $8.95 USPS Priority Flat Rate box shipping charges. Shipping is from Arizona.
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their “Delivering for America” plan in which they hope to become profitable. It’s a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we’ve got years to go with multiple price increases each year. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the changes when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items can fit safely into a single box or envelope. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASES: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
