Very impressive collection Stever! It's easy to see how someone could be drawn to collect Victorian Brass/ Hardware. It's gorgeous w/ great details & very diverse in style and design. Thanks for posting the pics. Nice eye candy. woodwright

Zeke---
Not so fast on the Ekado as a repro....
Look at the shank where it becomes part of the
base of the knob. Is this part "reeded" too?
on the flat top of the "smaller circle" you should
find a small round dot that appears to be made
of a slightly different metallic composition. If this
is there, then it is undoubtedly genuine. That dot---
is actually a pin which holds the body and the shank
together. If the pin were drilled or driven
out the shank would unscrew from the body.
I'll send some pics if you want.

Hi there,
This is a bit off subject, but maybe you could help me identify these peices of brass hardware?
They are solid brass and appear to be very old, but I am not sure. If you can help, I'd love to know more about them.
Thanks,
Shay

Hi Shay-
Hard to say as the pics are fuzzy, but the design/casting does
not appear to be crisp. Your bathroom hardware appear
to be reproduction pieces from a time much newer then
what they represent. Never the less they are still pleasing
to the eye and would like nice in a Victorian bathroom setting.
Do the pieces have any manufacturer marks?

Thanks for the reply. I took the pics with a cell phone. They are pretty detailed, but very dirty from being in my attic waiting to be used. Unfortunately, I don't have my victorian home anymore, (long story) so I have no idea what I'll do with them.
They do not have any marks, unfortunately. But, as you say, they are very pleasing. I'd love to know more about them.
Thanks again for the reply, and for all the great info and pics in this thread. I agree, you should definitely start a blog.
Shay
