Van Dykes for restorers. vandykes.com free catalog.
White Chapel in WY. www.whitechapel-ltd.com
nice heavy good quality pieces.
unfortunately their website shows only a fraction of their products, so you have do that whole $5 or order something for the catalog. if your doing restoration -this catalog is great.
I just saw this website and think the glass knobs are terrific!
I love Simon's. Got glass doorknobs there, and will return for kitchen cabinet knobs soon.
Simon's Hardware
Is Amalgamated Home on Christopher Street in the Village still open? If so, they have had great (but limited) knobs/handles/hardware in the past...
Ikea for cabinet pulls.
Also, Expo Home Center for bath hardware.
George Taylor on Franklin St in Tribeca
previous discussed on this site
excellence for all plumbing needs - specialty english fittings, standard US stuff, old and new
or does that qualify as hardware?
I agree with Home Depot Expo. A very nice selection of tubs, tiles, etc. there as well.
i think amalgamated home is gone, it was always worth the visit.
I noticed that the site with the great glass knobs wasn't included in my comment above. So here it is.

Personally I think this little online store has the most unique and reasonably priced hardware! I bought their dotted door pulls when I renovated my kitchen last year.

i tried looking up the knobs and pull on broadway panhandler and gracious home but was unable to locate them. can someone please let me know under what section they are?
Also, while browsing Gracious Home, under Closet and Storage saw this quote and with a lot of people trying to de-clutter etc. thought it was really funny.
You are not, absolutely not, a "pack rat."
It's just that you have an eye for what's
worth something. A talent really.
We know. And we have everything
you need to organize it all.
I went to Broadway Panhandler a few months ago looking for knobs and pulls (based on the AT listings), and they had no idea what I was talking about. Swore they never had knobs and pulls. Are there two stores with the same name? Did they discontinue them? Who knows?
I think the tabulation on B'way Panhandler
must have gone wrong.
Kitchen almost everything, yes.
But knobs?
maybe over by the dishtowels and hardware-ish things you put in your sink . . .
p.s.
the B'way Panhandler site
is not completely representative of what they have
in the store.
