Inherited hardware

[Older The Better]

I was told these were from a family house built in the late 1800’s I have installed the door knob on my door but these came too. At first I thought it was a pull to ring the bell but I’m not convinced they are related the design, on the front and around the pat dates are different.




still gotta patch the door

Yeah it looks like a mechanical door bell. The ones I’ve seen have a small knob you twist to ring the bell but I am sure some could use other mechanisms. It’s possible your parts are a mismatch, the patent dates don’t seem to match on the handle and bell. If the bell works you might be able to determine what motion triggers it’s mechanism.

Mojjax I think you got it. The bell works you pull down on a small piece of rope attached to a loop. I guess maybe just mismatched or possibly a replacement... never seen a pull like that before. my first impression was some sort of electrical switch

Very nice OTB!

I like that doorknob. I reminds me of the one in "Home Alone" that put the brand on the crook's hand, LOL.

Nice work Mojjax!

Best wishes!
