Smitty,

I have worked on a few Victorian home restoration projects and have great success locating items from glass door knob to decorative iron fence and gates, from victorian furniture to original amusement park rides & items. This place has 3 floors above ground and 2 below and they are wall to wall salvaged items from pre 1900 and forward from there. They are located in Louisville, Ky., about 25 miles south of my home and if I am looking to replace anything antique, they are my go to source.
It would not suprise me if they have what you need and they are real nice folks to deal with.
Here’s their contact info, give ‘em a call.

My first visit took an entire day (not a working day) just to walk through, It’s an amazing trip down memory lane or a look back into the past for you Youngsters.

I made a quick trip down there one day, hoping to find surface mount iron door locks and glass door knobs, they had 5 or 6, foot lockers full, of each.

Good luck.
