Cabinet Knob

[Joeyboots]

Was shooting my back yard. A small area because I live in the city. After a couple of bottle caps, old wire, and assorted scrap I came up with this. I thought it was a button. After I cleaned it up I realized it was a brass drawer knob. I am thinking very old 1889-1901. Any experts on these out here? Sorry about the pic the batteries were dying on my camera.

I'm not an expert, it looks really nice and old! Congrats. The "Very wise experts" Will probably chime in in a while to help you.

It looks like it is an Eastlake design .. late 1800's - early 1900's ..Cool find!

Really cool find! Are you joeyboots from the Howard stern show? Just curious

Thank you for the information. I didnt know it at the time but I compaired that knob to an Eastlake doorknob and thats where I estimated the date of it. Victorian style fits the bill as the house is a Victorian Era Townhouse. And, sorry no I am not the Howard Stern JoeyBoots. Army buddy gave me that name I didnt know Sterns boots. lol
