Hi - In the process of renovating our house and want to find similar knobs for new internal doors. Do you think they are brass that have gone dark? Any idea on era? House is 1920s and wondering if they are original? Many thanks.

Think they are original, maybe cast iron or Bakelite

They're probably original. Don't think they will be Bakelite as that gets brittle with age I thought. So most likely brass. You'll have to search through reclamation places. That's how we sourced ones we needed to match.

That’s very helpful thank you so much!

I have some in my house - it was built in 1905. They are brass. Try a reclamation yard?
