Now I've found my share of door knobs, but never have I found a door handle this large! Been a while since I've opened a door that had such a handle with a thumb latch. Looks to be a Welch 518 A. Pretty sure it's antique. I'm sure someone out there would love to have it for an old restoration project.

Today's finds...

Massive brass door handle
(2) Wheatback cents 1919 and date unreadable
Navy button front
Copper Thimble

I think we once had a very old wardrobe with a handle style like that. You gotta love the old stuff. It still worked fine and was quite a few decades old.
