PUBLIC SCHOOL CITY OF NEW YORK DOOR KNOB. C.1900. This is one of the original, heavy brass door knobs that were used in New York City schools over 100 years ago. Fascinating to realize that someone conceived of and implemented the idea of adding beauty to the school via the lowly door knob. This gorgeous knob may have been one the most beautiful things in the entire school. Makes a great paperweight... and if you can find the right shaft, it can even be a door knob! Size 2.5 x 1.5. Originals knobs are extremely rare. We only have a few. EACH $165
