Vintage Porcelain White/cobalt Push-Pull door plates

Where: a close friend whose house was trashed by Hurricane Sandy


These were given to me.  My friends house was destroyed during the hurricane, and when he brought me inside to check out the Basement, these were the first things I seen, and he was actually holding them for me! 

In near-perfect condition, white is very white and the cobalt blue is so lush and azure. Still has the original grommets. Hard to get these in this condition for they're usually salvaged and are worn where many pushes have been...   Unknown Date, possibly 1940's. Grey Dots are what seem to be paint splots.
