These types of doorbells come in different varieties.  One version is made of brass and another version is made of dark bronze/copper, satin nickel.  The whole setup fits easily on your door and offers simplicity and clever creativity in a small package.  You can generally find these doorbells in the price range of $40 to over $100 with most models running over $80.  Common manufacturers of the twist doorbell include: Craftsman, Ornate, Restorers Affiliate, and Restoration Hardware.
