Join ADCA
Have you ever noticed the doorknob that you grasp and turn to enter a historic home or building? Antique doorknobs are little pieces of sculpture cast in bronze, brass, copper, iron, steel, glass, or ceramic — with ornate doorplates and hardware to match.
“The ADCA is comprised of a few hundred active members who collect not only antique doorknobs, but also other types of associated antique hardware and collectibles.”
