Cast Iron Rosette Pat 1862

Basic cast iron rosette escutcheon with a small notch on one side. This could possibly be for a small thumb latch or perhaps it was to give better access to the securing screw in the neck of the doorknob. I cannot find this setup in any of the catalogues I have access to. The back is marked Pat. July 15 1862. It seems to be related to a patent by D. Skidmore for a new type of knob attachment. There are three holes for attachment. The rosette measures 1 15/16″diam. The opening for the doorknob fits most standard knobs at 3/4″diam. The notch does not interfere with knob function.

Note- Antique rosettes are not large enough to cover a modern hole. If you have a modern style hole in your door, consider a full sized door plate to cover.
