Rare find! This is an original (not reproduction) screen door set made by “Russell & Erwin Mfg. Co” of New Britain, CT during the 1870’s. The set consists of 2 bronze knobs, 2 bronze rosettes, 1 steel lock with bronze faceplate, 1 bronze strike plate, and 1 spindle with 2 set screws. All bronze parts are solid, heavy, cast bronze—not stamped or plated iron.
The knobs, rosettes, lock faceplate, and strike plate are adorned with exquisite Greek Revival style details. The bronze parts were partially cleaned leaving some of the patina to accentuate the beauty of the details.
All parts are in excellent condition; free of breaks, cracks, chips, or dents. The lock was opened, inspected, and greased to operate more smoothly.
* Please note that the strike plate included in this set was actually the faceplate of a lock similar to the one included in this set. At the point of salvage, this plate was found with only a small portion of the lock body. We completely cut off that small portion, and now you have a complete set!
* Also note, even though this set was originally meant for usage with a screen door, you could still install it on any other interior door.
