Flipping a very 50's ranch. Had been a rental with moderate amount of damage. Trying to keep in character, and noticed one of the vintage door knobs was damaged. This was my aunt's house - she lived there for many years- and I always liked the door knobs. They are kind of unique, copper and chrome. One of the bedroom doors is missing the chrome disk from the center of the knob. when I pulled the worn yellow bathtub out the date on the bottom was 1954, so I'd assume this time frame. These knobs have survived all these decades and still work well.
Did a search on google, nothing similar showed up. Does anyone have a source to 50's style door hardware? When I go over there this afternoon I'll take a picture and post it.
Sad thing is all three bedroom doors, birch with aged patina, are badly damaged. these renters managed to peel parts of the veneer off. Found a few sources with older doors, hope I can find suitable replacements, really don't want to go the new route.
