Ruth Richmond door knobs and cabinet pulls — nice stash of New Old Stock

Some day, in the not all that distant future, there will be no more boxes of never-sold, never-open stuff long-forgotten, now rediscovered, in hardware stores that closed in the 70s. Fortunately, that day is not today. Today, we have a bunch of New Old Stock Ruth Richmond door knobs and pulls from a hardware store that closed in the 70s.

 

There are doorknob sets, in several designs.

In multiples. If I were a home builder, would … build a house with just six doors around these.

And put in just enough cabinetry for these cabinet pulls, too. Matchy matchy.

Not a lotta. But some. For someone maybe even, enough. Ruth Richmond would be pleased, I bet.
