Set of 9 wood knobs for E H Scott radios from the 1930's. This includes the 2 piece fast and slow tuning knobs, 5 of one style and 2 of another. This is a complete set for the Scott Phantom and possibly the Philharmonic and other models. Condition is unbelievable for a 70+ year old item. I think they are walnut. There are no cracks, no chips, no scratches, the brass inserts with setscrews are not even tarnished. I bought these about 30 years ago from a collector whose father had been a Scott dealer. They then sat in a box in a dresser drawer - untouched, unloved, forgotten for all these years. This is a rare chance for the serious collector to put the finishing touches on a classic radio. They appear to be NOS, but I am not 100% sure. I never used them. All are for a standard 1/4" shaft except the larger tuning knob which fits a 3/8" shaft. It is a joy to study the surface - how were they made? The detail represents a lost art of American craftsman. Be assured - these are wood with a varnish or lacquer finish - not a plastic repro. Think you will ever see these again? Someone is going to thank themself. They will securely packed and insured for safe shipment anywhere.

Thank you for the kind comments from some very nice and knowledgeable Scott collectors. But no one has answered my question - How were they made? Specifically - how were the very fine details applied to the surface? Certainly not by hand carving. Pressed..... can wood be processed like that? I would like to hear from the wood experts - ask your friends, dealers, collectors, artisans, etc.
