My Obsession with Door Hardware!

Here is a another post featuring one of my obsessions; door hardware! I inherited this odd trait from my dad. An old door isn't an old door without some good old fashioned hardware to match! That's why my dad has cardboard boxes full of miscellaneous hardware. But, my collection is not as large, I only have a few escutcheons, pulls and knobs. Here are some pictures I've taken of them.

They all have crackly paint and patina.

This one is really big, there's two keyholes.

 

This one was probably for sliding pocket doors going from room to room. Unfortunately, this is the only one I have for this purpose.

Don't you wonder what kind of home all of this hardware came from? Imagine all the stories they could tell!

 

Small glass knobs for cabinetry, quite popular currently, sometimes pricey. I think I have 5 in various sizes. If you plan on buying any to use for furniture, I would get the ones with screws and washers still with them!

 

Which one is your favorite?
