VINTAGE Victorian Style DOOR KNOB SET WITH MORTISE AND BACKPLATES

Description

Offering a vintage door knob set which includes the mortise and oval back plates. As you can see, the set is in rusty and used condition. There is no key. The mortise is marked Russell and Erwin MFG CO, New Britain, Conn USA  and dated  June 89. I do not know for sure but I think it may be 1889? It measures approx. 3" deep by 3.5" long x .5" thick. The front plate of the mortise that would sit on the outside of the door measures approx. 5.5" long  x  .75" wide. The door knobs measure approx 2.25" in diameter. The back plates measures approx. 7" long x 2.5 " wide at its mid section.  All the pieces are in need of a good cleaning. They look like the finish has been worn off. they have a decorative beaded design around the edges of the back plates and the knobs as you can see in the pictures. A little TLC would make them a very attractive set. The key design would be a skeleton key which one may find to use the lock once more. The set screw look original to the knobs and move easily. No other hardware is included. What you see it what you get.
