Default door knobs

I'd like to know where I can find more door knobs like these. They are
quaint and functional. I don't even know what they are called.
Hope this link works.

If it is just the knobs you need, there are quite a few antique door knob
dealers online, and retail shops like Restoration Hardware, perhaps in your
area. Google for either "antique door knobs" or for "antique locksets", and
note both the body of the search results, as well as the right hand paid-for
advert. column.. Be sure you unscrew the set screws and disassemble the
knobs from the spindle to see what shape, size, and length the axle is, so
you know what to specify.. The lock mechanism in the photo looks *very*
old - 19th century looking.
