From our friend's house that was built in Chicago in 1904, I can only imagine how well this will work and how shiny it'll be once it's cleaned up, oiled, whatever you do with it! Whether you repurpose it or replace one of those missing in your older home, I know there's a use; even if you just leave it sticking out of the knob, so cool! Remember it's very old and is in the condition shown. I will leave the scraping, sanding, and repainting to you as you'll want to match your decor. Shipping for this super piece is $4.70 insured and I know they repurpose these for wearing as jewelry, too! Good luck and have fun buying.

**A promise I make that is true since my beginning on eBay back in 1999~ I do not hold items. Once you see the tracking number, the item is taken out of the house to be shipped as I'm first and foremost, excited for you to get your item and secondly, I'm not into clutter. SO, please be patient with our delivery systems as they are overwhelmed and I can certainly speak for our local PO. They're operating on a skeleton crew and UPS also drops everything there for the USPS people to deliver! Thank you for your understanding of this and the fact that I have no control of your item once it leaves my very capable hands. Thank you for perusing our site and God bless~

Also, combining shipping doesn't mean you get 2 or 3 items shipped for the price of one as a few have thought lately. It means I will pack everything together and save you money as in this example; one item is $4.15 to ship. Say you want 3 items, it will be less than tripling the price to be $12.45 but they can not all go for $4.15. (o:
