Penn Portulaca Bronze & Iron Passage Set. 1880 F-20600 doorknobs, plates, mortise lock, and key


Notice the Dolphins, sea creatures, besties, dragons - or whatever you see. :)


Beautiful set. I have several other pieces in the Portulaca pattern (and other patterns) that I haven’t listed yet. Let me know if there is something specific you are hunting for.


Penn Hardware started making this pattern in the 1880s. Reading had their Columbian Design. Corbin copied them with their Empire / Beastie design. Nashua even got into the game before they were bought out by producing a short lived, very similar, Franconia design. Other than Franconia this is the rarest of the Victorian Beastie patterns.
