The doorknob is the most expensive thing on that addition.

It is very cool...as is the entire door.

Nice patina.

Once my FIL retired, he made coat racks from pieces of barn wood and old door knobs.

Little old ladies steal old doorknobs, bring their own tools even.
Steal them out of historical homes, houses for sale, old stores, offices.
Guess there is a black market online (eBay) that deals in that stuff.

According to Mrs. S., my FIL didn't pilfer the door knobs from other locations. The story goes that if he heard of friend(s) who were doing major renos, he would ask for any door knobs that were being pitched.

I bet he pilfered the barn wood though.
