   You might try    " Horton Brasses "

   Horton Brasses, Ball & Ball Hardware, and Londonderry Brasses are all three top names, listed in approximately ascending order of prices.  Ball & Ball is very top quality (you can even have custom work done--matching an existing pull, for example, down to choosing the correct matching brass alloy, for example, but you will pay), the Londonderry is also very high quality, but are made to look more "antique", with small defects, etc. to help them look hand made and really old.  Horton is also good quality, just not quite at the Ball & Ball level, but quite a bit more reasonable, still WAY above hardware store pulls.

   Your date's missing a digit, so I didn't know if it was early 1800's or early 1900's ;-)    Here's a page of drop pulls that are reproductions at House of Antique Hardware.  You could also cruise eBay for originals.  Google on restoration hardware drop pulls to possibly find some others.

   RNH,

   Other sources might be Van Dyke's Restorers, Ansaldi and sons, or Whitechapel.

   All have internet sites.
