Circa 1900-1930, with mortise lock clearly marked Sargent & Co.Featured in the 1910 catalog (see pic). Heavy clean brass faceplate, completely restored! Beautiful functioning lock. The 761 has a 2 1/2" backset. This lock accommodates a thumb press handle from the outside and a turn knob from the inside. NOTE: Sargent made several generational changes to the 761 during its long lifetime. This appears to be one of the earlier versions wherein the plunger, placed between the two push buttons on the brass face, measures 3/4" of an inch. Some later versions we have seen had a wider plunger. While the overall function on all these versions is the same, it is possible they may not all accommodate the same strikeplate spacing. In any event, these locks are very difficult to find. THE MORTISE: FACEPLATE MEASUREMENTS: Heavy brass face plate, measures 7 1/2" by 1 1/8" by 1/8" thick. SCREWS: Screws are on 6 3/4" centers.
