(This listing is for just ONE (1) KNOB. The pictures show 3 views of JUST 1 DOOR KNOB, all the same one.)

An excellent beautiful light Sun Colored Amethyst (SCA) antique GLASS DOOR KNOB.  This is an early ORIGINAL GLASS knob, dating back well over 100 years old, over ONE CENTURY OLD.  It has a translucent amethyst hue to it.

  • Condition:   This knob is in excellent condition.  The glass has maybe a scuff or scratch but NO cracks, chips, dings, damage, etc.  The brass collar on it is has BEEN RECENTLY POLISHED and is in outstandingly beautiful condition AND it still retains the original set screw.  Many of these old knobs that you see are worn out, with the brass dented and tarnished, and/or with layers of paint and varnish on them.  Often the glass is beat up and dirty, damaged, or painted over and loosely fitting into the brass setting.  This one has none of these issues.  It is in amazingly good condition with just enough wear to give it the rustic look that a century old doorknob should have!

  • Age:  This knob is an early blown glass knob, ca. late 1800's - very early 1900 pre-1915 for sure.

  • Shipping: All DOMESTIC shipping charges INCLUDE insurance. We have enjoyed shipping our items all over the world and are happy to offer most of our items to international buyers. Yet insuring International parcels is very expensive so PLEASE NOTE; we do NOT insure International orders unless winning buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance quote. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and send payment acknowledgments and shipping confirmations. Your prompt payment will assure a very quick turn-around time. IMPORTANT NOTE: If our shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is especially important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are rough estimates.

You don't often see these older style HEXAGON (6 - sided) SHAPED glass knobs that often.  Usually when you see 'antique' glass door knobs, you see the newer glass knobs which have a completely different pattern of glass, are machine made, and have a light yellow tinted glass.  These date to the post-1930's era and 1000's of them were mass produced.  What is so great about a knob like this, with the amethyst color, is that everyone recognizes these as desirable antique glass knobs.   As such, not only can they be used functionally as a door knob in an old home, but they are multi-functioning.   We have seen them used as coat hangers and also (don't underestimate this one) they are used as stick shift knobs on vintage cars and pick-trucks, nice!  Then .... there's the amethyst tint, a beautiful color, the result of the presence of manganese in the glass, a mineral that was pulverized and added to vats of liquid glass that acted as a decolorizing agent to turn the glass crystal clear.  Exposure to ultraviolet rays of the sun or other sources of UV rays, triggers a chemical reaction and the manganese oxidizes and turns a wonderful amethyst color.   With few exceptions, only clear glass from before 1914 will turn sun-colored-amethyst.  Not only does this amethyst hue make this a great looking antique door knob, but it also authenticates it as being truly antique check it out!
