I already have these, the original ones, on my front door :-) .

I like ‘em!!! starbursts, sunbursts, simple flower graphic….love. I’ll have to check these out for sure.

Nobody bid! Nobody bid! I have wanted these for soooooo long – I even bought the matching doorbell 2 years ago!
I’m going to watch them and see what they’re going for. Praying that they don’t go up too high and I can afford them!
Thanks for the tip Pam!

I’m looking at these and it looks like the doorknob has to have a deep inset so the outer streak doesn’t hang out past the edge of the door. I’d like these but my original doors….I don’t know if the starburst would fit without hanging over.

I actually ended up winning a rosette a little while back that is too big for my door. I’d happily let it go to a new home at a good price if someone is interested.

Hey Joe! I’d be interested in knowing your price. These on ebay just went for 93 bucks! I just can’t compete….

You could contact me at atomicteaparty@gmail.com. A photo would be very welcome! Thanks!

These seem to show up from time to time on Ebay, but they ALWAYS seem to go for big bucks. I bet if we all hit our ReStores once or twice a week (and maybe even give the proprietor a picture and a little bribe) we could come across a few of these ourselves!

Chris.
