I've got a zillion projects running in parallel, but soon I'll be
replacing doors and want to find some brass lever handles to match the
ones that were fitted when the house was built in the 1930s. A few of
the old doors still have the original handles so I've taken a photo and
wonder whether the might of this group can either identify them (a long
shot), suggest where to get modern look-alikes, or suggest where to get
some custom-made at an affordable price (I'll need about 25 pairs).
The handles are solid brass, with quite thin back plates. A few have
key
holes (as in the photo) but the majority need to be plain.

(Is there a better place to put photos for this group?)

If you're replacing them all, then an exact match to the old ones
isn't critical as long as they all look similar to one another.
That's true, of course. I was hoping to try to keep the originals in
use somewhere (downstairs, ideally) and look for something close for
upstairs.

Be aware that a lot will be brass finish, rather than solid brass. Lots
to choose from here, https://tinyurl.com/y9l5zvqf or click on the
'antique' tab, top left, if you don't want to see contemporary
designs.
Thanks. I've spent quite some time searching but (doh!) hadn't thought
of clicking the "antique" tab - that certainly cuts-out a lot that's
irrelevant.

These look pretty similar to yours https://tinyurl.com/y8kgmanq . I
hope you've got a friendly bank
manager.

Similar, but quite expensive when I need so many.

This might be an even better match, but sit down before looking at the
price!

Thanks for finding them but 25 pairs would be £4225 - very slightly over
budget.
