Hinge and keyhole/handle

This is a vintage/salvaged knuckle hinge from sometime in the late 1800's. We paid half of today's prices and this thing has character and works amazingly. It probably has another 100 years left. Just have to polish it and get some sparkle. Oh year, notice the door. It is hung. Not by me though. Tom was the "hanger".


This is the detail of the door handle and key hole cover on the salvaged door that we bought. Pretty sweet eh? Only issue is that we didn't realize that there was a camber on the door and while we knew we had to switch the hinge direction, didn't know the sides of the door were cut at an angle (the wrong way). If we ever redo the bedroom, I think we can swap this door and put it in there.
