    These brass are mounted in a solid oak picture frame. With red felt background to show off the brasses better. Collected from antique markets & over the internet. About 24'' X 24" square.

      Great do they have a use or are they just novelty pieces.

      Wow, these are really beautiful. Are they antiques or not?
    4. Knockersfan, 11 years ago
      To mcheconi.
      By definition an antique must be 100 years old or more. Most of my brass door knockers have a stamped registration number on the back. example R152525 for the large Widdecombe Fair knocker. (The one with the old men on a horse)
      This is the registered design date, 1891. Not necessarily when it was made. but from the patina (condition) I think it was. some are just as old & others up to about the 1930's.
      P.S. I have been taking pictures for about 50 years. Sometimes modifying old roll film cameras to take special wide angle pictures.
      Regards Terry.

      Thank you for your answer Terry. I think they are gorgeous pieces. Nice to know about you being a photographer and working with film cameras. I am starting a small camera collection (and struggling to keep it small!) and still learning. I take mostly bird pictures using digital equipment.

      To Zowie.
      The smaller ones are really only for display. But the larger ones like the King Richard I style knocker I posted last month,would be suitable for mounting to a door. It would make a very loud noise!

      At times that is what is need & others times if you choose not to answer you cannot say you never heard.
