Set of 3 1920s McKinney Antique Brass 5in Door Hinges

About the Item

Presenting a fabulous set of 3 1920s McKinney antique brass 5in door hinges. Rare survivors! Made in the USA by ‘McKinney’ circa 1925-29. These are without doubt from the Art Nouveau/Art Deco Era. They were salvaged from a Mansion in Dallas that was built in 1929. They are all marked for ‘McKinney“ on one side and “Patented June 30 1925. Other Pat’s Pending” on the other side. Each is made from heavy solid antique brass, with a bronze patina. These are LARGE hinges, being 5 inches tall and 5 inches wide when open and 2.5 inches wide when closed. They are classic ‘Ball Finial’ hinges. These would have been used on a large, thick and heavy door. Most likely an entrance door. Each hinge weighs almost 2lbs. McKinney Products Company designs and manufactures high quality architectural hinges for commercial use. With roots in Cincinnati OH, McKinney manufactured in the heart of the Pennsylvania steel industry for many years. McKinney became an ASSA ABLOY Group company in 1996. With the resources of ASSA ABLOY, McKinney greatly expanded the research and development, and manufacturing capabilities. These capabilities have had the greatest impact on improving custom hinge manufacturing. Established in 1865 and carried out business in Pittsburgh around the time these products were made. These are high quality, rare, ‘Period’ pieces with impeccable provenance!

  • Set of 9 Art Nouveau Hand Beaten Bronze Door Handles with Plates
    Located in Dallas, TX
    Presenting a gorgeous and unique set of 9 Art Nouveau hand beaten bronze door handles with plates. Amazingly complete set! Probably made in the US circa 1910 and most definitely influenced by the English New Lyn School of Arts and Crafts Era hand-beaten copper pieces. These are without doubt Art Nouveau in style and from the period. They were salvaged from a Mansion in Dallas that was built in 1929. We are of the opinion that these were ‘custom made’ pieces. They are unmarked and unsigned and they appear to be made of bronze with a brass and copper mix. The Set consists of: 6 double sided classic door handles/knobs with central lock pin – suitable for door of a minimum of 1.5 inches thick but can accommodate thicker door. Each of these 6 also come with their original back plates (x12) and keyhole covers (x12) for either side of the door. 2 handles/knobs with central lock pin but with small knob on backside- suitable for door of a minimum of 1.5 inches thick but can accommodate thicker door. This pair also has their original (front) back plates and a Yale back plate on the rear. 1 double sided turning door handles/knobs with turning central lock pin – suitable for door of a minimum of 1.5 inches thick but can accommodate thicker door. This also comes with it’s original back plates (x2). 1 Spare Keyhole cover, 2 spare back plates, 1 Spare plain Bronze Turning Knob with pin and 2 spare Hand-beaten Bronze Turning Knobs with pins. TOTAL OF 63 PIECES! These were originally used in the Mansion we rescued them from, with Yale Mortice Locks (a number of which we have listed separately in this category). The fact that they are hand beaten bronze, is highly unusual in itself as most of these types of pieces were copper. Also, we rescued these from the now demolished Mansion along with the UNIQUE hand beaten Bronze Door Straps...
