Lockwood Manhattan Doorknob

Lockwood Manhattan Doorknob

Single doorknob by Lockwood in "Manhattan" design. This design was also made earlier by Nashua and continued by Lockwood after purchasing the company. It is not marked, so it is difficult to tell which company/date this one is from. Cir. 1885-1894. Cast bronze. Double sided decoration with a central cross and leaflike motifs with a textured swirled background. The knob measures 2 1/4" in diameter. It has a fairly consistent light patina and is in excellent condition. It takes a standard sized non-threaded square shaft.
