    Ruth Richmond door knobs and cabinet pulls — nice stash of New Old Stock

    Posted by: •

    Some day soon, there will be no more boxes of never-sold stuff, now rediscovered, in hardware stores that closed in the 70s. Fortunately, that day is not today. Today, we have a bunch of Ruth Richmond door knobs and cabinet knobs — new old stock from a hardware store that closed in the 70s.

    There are doorknob sets, in several designs.

    In multiples. If I were a home builder, would … build a house with just six doors around these.

    And put in just enough cabinetry for these cabinet pulls, too. Matchy matchy.

    Steinmetz, Joseph Janney, 1905-1985. Portrait of Sarasota architect Ruth Richmond. 19–. Black & white photoprint, 10 x 8 in. State Archives of Florida, Florida Memory. accessed 7 December 2015.

    Not a lotta. But some. For someone maybe even, enough. Ruth Richmond would be pleased, I bet.

    1. Are they already gone? I clicked on the link, but it said no results found. I REALLY want those door pulls and door knob.

    2. I love Ruth Richmond knobs! I have a stash of them, but since I have perfectly adequate knobs on the (only three) interior doors in this cottage, and many more urgent projects to finish, I haven’t gotten around to replacing them yet.

      Has anyone ever seen an EXTERIOR acrylic knob by Ruth Richmond? I’m so tempted by the white acrylic ones, but I wonder if (aside from the locking part, which is taken care of by a deadbolt anyway) it could be a feasible choice?
