Any information would be greatly appreciated please.

Thank you again. Mark

 

What do they measure?

 

5cm

 

20th century drawer pulls, factory made and painted. A lot of these made in 1980's or so. What were you looking for?

 

I bought drawer pulls in the 1990s that looked very similar.
However, with that square shaped rod that connects two of yours together, they do appear more like doorknobs than drawer pulls.

 

ya...doorknobs

 

Definitely door knobs, but I have no idea how to tell how old they are. The style has been available for 100 years or more. I can understand why you broke down and asked for help!

 

Yes, clearly these are doorknobs. I hadn’t seen the size posted. But not 100 years old; think late 20th century, mid-20th at the earliest based on the stencil design and condition.

 

Most likely dating from the Country Cottage craze of the 1980/90s, but could very well be earlier. Pricewise, I don't think it matters these days, as they are a design no-no.

 

can u provide a close up of the hardware.....

 

Reproductions cost roughly $100 a pair, so clearly someone didn’t get the memo.

 

Wondering why?
I love them!

 

They are at odds with the less is more mantra.
Sorry, modern reproductions are about four dollars a piece here (if you can sell a containerful, maybe we can do something ).

 

If you’re looking for a single knob without the hardware. And you know where to look. If you don’t need the knob to turn, also pretty cheap, $40 or so. Otherwise:

Hm. I'll throw this in. My mama had ttransfer printed porcelain door knobs. She bought them in the fifties, new.
