Antique Vintage Old Salvaged store Reclaimed Interior Door Set Copper Brass Steel Knob Plate Lock Lockset Arts and Crafts Style
* Last photo show the set prior to cleaning.
Cool, antique, Arts and Crafts style, interior door lockset made by, "Skillman Hardware Mfg. Co." of Trenton, NJ during the middle of the previous century. It's complete with store all parts needed to install and use: 2 steel knobs, 2 stamped steel escutcheons, 1 steel mortise lock, 1 steel strike plate for the door jamb, 1 spindle with 2 setscrews to connect the knobs, and 8 installation screws to fasten the lock and plates to the door.
Originally, all parts were brass and copper plated, but some of the plating wore off over the years leaving the parts with a nice, distressed finish. The degree of plating varies from part to part.
One knob is slightly smaller than the other. Unless the knobs are side by side, this quirk will be unnoticeable.
At the point of salvage, some parts were painted all parts were dirty and rusty (see last photo). Much time was spent carefully cleaning all parts, trying to preserve as much of the plating and patina (tarnish) as possible. It has an amazing, distressed look. However, if you prefer your hardware bright and shiny, we could thoroughly clean the parts, removing all patina for an additional $25/set--message us if you're interested.
All parts are in excellent condition with only tiny nicks and light scratches that you would expect to find on old, used hardware. There are no breaks, cracks, chips or gouges.
The lock was opened, inspected, and we sprayed grease on and around all parts to facilitate their movement. The inside of the lock is fairly clean considering its age (see close-up photo). If you want a key to operate the lock, we could modify an old skeleton key to work with this lock for $15/key--email us after the auction if you are interested.
