Topic: 1937,38,39 Gear shift knob

  I found a gear shift knob in a box of doorknobs that have been in my basement for thirty years. The doorknobs came from an old Mannor House and barn that was being torn down. As I sorted through the doorknobs I discovered the gear shift knob which looks very much like a doorknob. It has a bright silver medallion on the top. Ford is printed on the top with Rotunda at the bottom and a building in between. Is there anybody looking for one?

  You have an original 1937 Ford Rotunda knob, sold at the Ford Rotunda in Dearborn MI.
It does have value to a collector.
Do a search on Ford Gearshift Knobs on eBay and you will be surprised at the value.
I guess I should have said check out Completed Items for Collectible Ford gearshift knobs. A 1934 Chicago Worlds Fair knob sold for $149.
Watch out for the REPRODUCTION knobs out there.

  Thanks for the conformation. I was thinking that it would be nice to find someone who was restoring an old ford and needed the gearshift knob to compleat the job.
