An 1843 Doorknob

1843 doorknob
Remember the doorknob we found on Field Day 17? Compare it with this doorknob (right) that Laurie saw on a house dating to 1843 in Mahopac. As she pointed out, it has the same hole for a pin on the side of the shank that our doorknob has. Furthermore, it's about the same size and shape.
