Anyone know who forged this piece?  It rings "Samuel Yellin" to me, but the
poster says it isn't marked.   About a decade ago I looked around
Philadelphia for Yellin ironwork (there's a bunch!), and I have a vague
recollection of something or other remotely resembling this knocker. I
don't find a photo of it in Jack Andrew's book.

Not refined enough workmanship for Yellin.

And not mine.  But  I did knockers similar in size, style and workmanship
in the late 70s.  I never made a back-plate like that nor a twist in
the body.

Reminds me I should ask my friend of 70 years who lives far away in
Berkeley and for whom I made a dragon knocker for a wedding
present in the 70s how his dragon is doing.

Nice work Mike.  The first link blocked access for me, but the second site
gave me pictures of your very nice work.

Mike,
That was my thought exactly.  Inspired by Yellin, but probably not Yellin's
work.  And the period could easily be as late as the '90's, which is about
the time I got started (as an amateur) in blacksmithing.

Yes.  A considerable resemblance.
