Signed George Washington Doorknob
It is very unusual to find a door knob signed by the designer, but this historically important piece of American hardware in stamped "F. Jahn Phila" on the bottom of the shank. Other similar knobs have been found with other famous Americans, and it is speculated that these doorknobs were made for buildings in the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. The US Patent Office records F. Jahn as the originator of this door knob design. Most of these knobs are found with considerable wear, so in comparative terms, this example is in very good condition.

Special Considerations for Architectural Lots
In some cases the buyer of an architectural lot is responsible for removing the material from the building. Read each description carefully to see which lots fall into this category. Before any winning bidder is allowed to remove material from the building they must:
1. Contact the auctioneer at 800-508-0022 or hww@webwilson.com
2. Discuss with the auctioneer their competency for removing architectural salvage, and present a plan for safe and timely removal.
3. Sign a waiver of liability with the auctioneer and the owner of the building.
4. Complete the removal of the material according to the agreed schedule and salvage plan.
5. Make full payment for all winning lots before any material is removed from the building.
