I ran across this promising image from Darwin, Australia, showing a cafe in a former bank:
Wow, I thought, a nice Mosler Century door. Then I started to notice things, like how closely it resembled the door at 510 5th Avenue in New York City. And that the pressure-bar system is engaged in its locking lugs which is totally illogical given its position relative to the glass storefront. And the bank is next door. OK Darwin, ya got me. It’s a poster, clearly of the NYC door:
It’s not based on this exact image but it’s darn close. If it’s a commercially-available poster, I haven’t been able to find it. Notice the name “MOSLER” has been removed, and the poster is black-and-white.
Even a failure can be a little entertaining.
