As I've said before, the previous tenants painted over everything:
Today I took off the hardware on the doors and boiled them with baking soda and the paint came off very nicely. These are two different door knobs, I have two of each in the house, I'm trying to decide which ones to go with because I want them all to be uniform.
I also cleaned out the lock, now all I need is several skeleton keys!
I hope nobody tasted your doorknob soup. They look great! I didn't think it could be so easy. Research what they had in the thirties.
ReplyDeleteI vote for the brass knobs, Christie does too! 2 for brass: 0 for the ugly crystal ones.Honestly who talks about crystal door knobs in their books set in the 30's??
