Just in (May 20)!  I don't find many doors like this - double dome upper panels, original hardware with key (door bell missing but can be replaced!), and in great older faded green and white exterior paint.  Inside paint is in good condition - creamy white, beige.  Paint is over a weathered surface which, from my point of view, is very pleasing but could be made more level and over painted (not my preference!).  See following detail of hardware.
Sold

Set of Six Interior Six Panel Doors

A set of six panel doors from a home in Newborough, Ont., ca. 1810.  All with original hardware - rim locks (Carpenter, Improved Rim Locks, and some locally (?) made), strikers, Georgian brass knobs, escutchions, and bezels (the bezels are the smallest but rarest of the above hardware!).  The condition of all six doors is excellent with most or all being near paint ready.  All the hardware is working though some intelligent tinkering may be required with some.  Sizes range from about 34" X 83" (+/-).  All doors are very close to original size when made.  A set in this condition and age is a very rare occurance.  SOLD
