Wanted: Octagon Glass Doorknobs

Wanted: Octagon Glass Doorknobs

One set of these cracked and broke in the door, and I would very much like to replace them. These are a very old kind, with no shaft/set screw or a metal rosette; the glass knob has a ridge that sits right into the escutcheon, and there is a metal rod embedded in the knob itself. The diameter is 2" across the face. I may possibly find them at Olde Good Things, but just in case, I figured I'd put out the call...

Hi, I have a few good pairs of these lying aroung somewhere. I've been trying to make it my business to sell these things, you can see by my website www.thetinkersyard.com. I am not sure what value to place on them and I know what the salvage places in the city fetch for them.

give me a bell if you would like to see what i have and offer me something, I'll see what i can do

You can get an idea what new ones run at www.houseofantiquehardware.com


Also, there should be a fair number of them on ebay.
