Top Knobs Modern Avalon Aged Bronze 4-1/2" (114 mm) L x 2-1/2" (64 mm) W Zinc House Number, AVN3-O

The Numeral Three, at the Compact Address Scale

This Top Knobs Modern Avalon piece is the numeral 3, a single-character house number for address identification on a door, wall, or entry surface.

Key Features

• The numeral 3, sold as a single character — one item, one digit.
• 4-1/2 inches long by 2-1/2 inches wide, the compact size in the Modern Avalon line.
• 1/4 inch projection that lifts the numeral off the surface to create a defined shadow line.
• Modern Avalon series, so it coordinates with companion numerals ordered under the same collection.
• Zinc body with a finished surface.

One Digit at a Time

House numbers in this series are ordered by the character, not as a set. This item is the 3. An address like 1347 requires four separate items — one each for the 1, 3, 4, and 7 — and an address like 3301 would include two of this numeral. Count every digit in the address before ordering, including repeated ones, and confirm the size: the Modern Avalon line runs at more than one height, and all the digits in one address should come from the same size.

Size, Shape, and the Shadow It Casts

At 4-1/2 inches on its long dimension and 2-1/2 inches wide, this is the smaller of the two Modern Avalon sizes. The 3 is a mid-width character in the series — wider than the 1 but narrower than an 8 — which matters when laying out a multi-digit address. Width varies by character, so the total horizontal span of a complete address is the sum of the individual character widths plus the gaps chosen between them. The 1/4 inch projection is modest but deliberate: it raises the numeral enough that light catches the edge and reads against the background without the numeral reaching far off the wall. The overall silhouette is clean and modern, consistent with the rest of the Modern Avalon family.

Where This Fits

The compact 4-1/2 inch format suits entries where the numeral should register clearly without dominating the elevation — a townhouse door, a recessed entry, a smaller facade, or any address where the viewing distance is modest. This size also works well where a local requirement or a design program calls for a more restrained numeral height. Confirm your local requirements for address numeral size if your jurisdiction sets one, and confirm the mounting arrangement appropriate for your wall surface.
