12 Point Clear Glass Door Knobs Pair 1920s to 1940s

These 12 point clear glass door knobs bring authentic early twentieth century architectural detail to a restoration, hardware collection, or older home.

The pair has deeply faceted pressed glass knobs with a starburst pattern visible through the face. Each measures about 2 inches across and 2 inches long. The glass pieces have the same general 12 point form, but the metal shanks have noticeably different finishes. One is brighter and shinier while the other has a darker, flatter aged surface. Because of that difference, these are sold together but are not confirmed as an original matched pair.
