1890's New York City $$$$$

Found three of these very collectible 1890's NYC Public School brass door knobs today. I'm going to be auctioning them off on Ebay one at a time, will easily get $50 minimum for each. Found in a rubble pile outside a school renovation site.

Wow, those are very nice door knobs.

They're from the time when people actually cared about quality, sad that those days are pretty much gone and forgotten.

They're awesome just goes to show u how nice American craftsmanship was when people took pride in they're work!

If my wife saw those, she'd dump half my check on those...

yea, she really likes that kind of stuff...I'd bet you'll do a lot better than $50...
