Door Knobs & Backplates

Prior to the commencement of the civil war, several American hardware manufacturers were producing fired porcelain door knobs. The white and black porcelain doorknobs as well as mineral knobs also being fashioned preceding the American civil war are considered relatively worthless, but the variety of vividly colored and often highly decorated doorknobs manufactured simultaneously are highly collectable.
