Silvertone Small Labeled Knobs
These are repros of Silvertone knobs with various labels. Knobs fit onto a 1/4" shaft, secured with supplied set screw. Labels are in raised lettering across one half of the knob. Used in conjuncion with the larger labeled Silvertone knobs. Click on the picture to get a larger view.
Originals of these knobs are all shrunk, broken, or otherwise damaged. I reworked originals to try to salvage enough of the original shape to make a mold for these knobs. Unfortunately, these repros are not perfect. They are not true round, and the holes are not true, but they are good enough.
models: 4487, 4586, and others
Dimensions: 7/8" diameter, 5/8" tall, 1/4" hole
