Crystal Doorknobs are a wonderful way to show elegance and detail in your home. Crystal doorknobs first became popular in 1917 during World War I when metals (such as iron, brass and bronze) that had previously been used for doorknobs were needed to manufacture planes and other supplies. By 1920, crystal and cut glass doorknobs were widely manufactured and remained popular until the 1950's.
