My reco: Go to a big lumber-hardware-type store/company that supplies local construction guys. There are catalogs, and I am pretty sure my memory is correct in that I saw old-timey doors like this. However, I was looking for "mill finish" like in the photo here. That is the *authentic* finish. Not sure if you can get it in white. Alternatively, I have two such doors in my basement, which I picked up at estate sales. I pick up everything. If you are in the area, come buy one from me! Meanwhile, this is still on my list to do official research on... along with lots of other stuff, so I don't know when I will get to it...

Do you have any idea regarding search terms that I should be using, or sources for screen doors like this? Ideally, I'd like a white painted aluminum one, and the guy at Home Depot suggested Larson Doors to me, but their website doesn't show anything similar.
