How about art deco glass door knobs?

Yes and No.  I search for handles that I need in order to improve or correct the reels I collect.  Sometimes a nice early handle by itself can start a reel project....or finish one that's been waiting for years.  For example, anyone who collects early 49, 149, 249 will be looking for coin edge 24-49's and wood knob nickel-plated 249 handles.

I figured a blue Penn handle would show up!

Especially if they are so old they've turned purple.  I don't collect them, I've just seen the prices in antique stores.  Reel handles are cheaper.

Remember "Aunt Clara" from TV's Bewitched? With the door knobs? I read that the actress actually did, in real life, collect knobs.
