Hopkins & Dickinson 1874 Doorknob

Decorative cast bronze doorknob made by Hopkins & Dickinson. Cir. 1874.

The decoration continues on the back of the doorknob with a more simple repeated line design. The doorknob measures 2 n14/"diam. It requires a smaller than standard non-threaded square shaft.
