As black as a crow
As black as a raven's wing
As black as ink
As black as Hell
As black as Hades
As black as death
As black as the grave
As black as your hat
As black as thunder
As black as midnight
As black as pitch
As black as soot
As black as tar
Dear Jack, I wish your old dad would tip off [the perch, that is, die], that you might come once more: damn it, he is as old as the knocker of Newgate, but I think as tough as a gad. [a bar of iron]

"As black as Newgate knocker" is a Cockney phrase.
Mr Julep... he usually wore an handsome full-bottomed grizzle wig and a suit of clothes properly adapted to his profession and age. But now mark the change which an attachment to the reigning mode had wrought in my good neighbour: the pompous grizzle had been laid aside for the spruce club stiled [called] a Newgate Knocker.
