What the heck is this???
What do you call them and more importantly, where can I get some more! I swiped this picture from Vintage House Parts. They referred to them as knobs (pulls) but that's not what they are for. These little brass doo-dads are stamped with "Curtis 1866" and have two brass halves and a brass screw to connect them. These are to hold in the inserts (either glass or a screen) in my storm/screen doors. Each end goes on either the inside or outside of the door and their wide enough to hold in the glass/screen insert. Problem is I don't know what they are called. I've checked all of the vintage screen door companies that I could find and they use something else now. I summon the houseblogger community to leverage our collective knowledge and to do my bidding

Wow. I'm stumped. I've summoned up my full strength of Googlefu and can't find those exact items. However, here are some leads for you...there was a company called Curtis Woodworking. There is also a company called Curtis Lumber. Perhaps a call to Curtis Lumber AND/OR to the place where you first found these can uncover a supplier of these.
Also, you might post this question on the Fine Homebuilding and Fine Woodworking forums over at Taunton. Those folks have some amazing collective information.
Best of luck!
