Description

A handsome complete working thumb-latch set for an exterior door, made and signed by Welch in an unusual hammered arrow design dating from the 1920’s. Retaining its original darkened nickel over bronze finish, this door hardware set consists of a large exterior handle with a thumb latch and a smaller coordinating interior handle; both feature a distinctive hammered design with an arrow head accenting the top and bottom. A matching thumb turn and decorative lock cylinder escutcheon continue the arrow motif. The larger handle measures 9-3/4″ tall, 1-5/8″ wide, with a 2″ projection; the smaller handle is 7-1/4″ tall, 1-5/8″ wide, and projects 1-1/2″. The mortise faceplate measures 7-1/8″ tall by 1-1/8″ wide, and the body measures 5-1/2″ tall, 3-3/8″ deep, and has a 2-1/2″ back set.
