I realize that these original door knobs that came with our house are nothing special but I was curious and took some bar keepers friend to them and they polished up pretty shiny.
I don’t know much about metal finishes but is this unlacquered brass or oil rubbed bronze? The first picture is before and then after. The last picture is in between when I “kind of” polished it.
Just did a kitchen renovation and am trying to decide on hardware and this might help me make my decision. Thanks!
