Door knobs - 1800s - early 1900s

The current door knobs consist of mostly round glass knobs with a silver circular disk embedded in the middle of the glass. There are a few knobs that do not match. We are going to see if we can locate matching knobs and rosettes. One of the doors removed has a pair of the needed knobs so we only need approximately 3 more knobs. If anyone knows where we may find additional knobs we are open to suggestions.
