It features a four-fold almost Aztec inspired floral and geometric ornamentation that extends to the back of the knob. Eastlake style. The doorknob measures 2 1/4"diam. The doorknob fits onto a standard size square non-threaded shaft.

The knob is in very good condition with a quite dark but consistent patina.

Corbin

P&F Corbin was founded by brothers Philip and Frank Corbin in New Britain, CT. in 1851. Interestingly, Philip previously worked for the company that would become Russell and Erwin, which Corbin would merge with in 1902. It ran with a number of subsidiary companies in the 1900's including Corbin Cabinet Lock Co., Corbin Screw Company and even a Corbin Motor Vehicle Corporation! Corbin is still in business today under ownership of Assa Abloy under the name Corbin Russwin.
