    I've shown various old doorknobs before but have always known there were more hanging around -- here's another assortment, probably #3 (I found two more posts anyway, links below) and I'm *still* certain there are *still* more to come one of these days in the future, once I re-discover the next little stash somewhere...?? <lol>

    The brass and nickel colored pair probably came from a bathroom door, as it isn't uncommon for those to be different on each side of one, I don't know why. A couple of the escutcheon plates at the top might have been with them (or doing similar duty) because of their turn lock buttons, they are also either brass or nickel colored under the paint I think.

    The pair of fancy glass ones in the center are very similar to others I've got, but I haven't compared them side to side. These have brass fittings to hold the glassware.

    The lower LH ones are likely a set -- they just look like they all match. Now rusty except for the blue paint on one, I'm not sure if they were ever plated with anything.

    Finally the latch/lock mechanism, it was in with the rest but I don't know if it ever *went* with any of them or not..it has a star cast into each side, but no other markings.

    Here's the others...sheesh, what on earth am I gonna DO with all these things...?? <groan><lol>

      I’m looking at 3 sets of the glass ones now on my closet doors....I love their ‘fancy’ look!
