This antique doorknob plate was salvaged from an old Victorian home in Oakland California that was to be demolished. It measures 7 by 2.25 inches The plate has openings for the knob, a skeleton key, and 4 screws (knob, key, and screws not included). I believe it is brass. The hole that the knob goes through protrudes about 1/4 inch.
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 was original to the date the house was built or not.
I have not cleaned it. I'll leave the rustic look on it and the new owner can clean it if they choose to do so.
When I obtained this plate, I also got a few others of various sizes. Check my other listings if interested. This listing is for just the one plate you see in my photo.
Buyer to pay $6.45 USPS First Class Mail Package shipping charges. Shipping is from Nevada.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per 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 on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit 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 PURCHASED: 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 come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
