It always gets tarnished.

Has anyone bought a nice fancy brass door handle that does not tarnish?
If so, what kind is it?

Baldwin. Other than not tarnishing I don't care for it. We bought
it 25 years ago because it would unlatch a deadbolt with the inside
lever. The outside is a thumb-latch & though I liked it fine 20
years ago- now my thumb is weaker & I'd prefer an outside lever.

IIRC it was about $200-- but it was the only one with that perceived
'safety feature' - so momma liked it & I installed it.
