Let's see your favorite shift knobs

Here's a pic of the clock. Its a wind-up clock that used to be used as cuff links on a suit.

 

Wow six pages of knobs...

I'll throw a couple more in...



This ones goin in my coupe. Its a salesmans giveaway for "Ivorine", a material used to make false teeth. I figure its from the 30's or 40's because its sits on a bakelite stand. The jaw is hinged and attatched to a couple tiny springs.

 

i had a friend make a knob out of billet & had him recess this 2004- silver dollar in the top . only year they were painted ! .. thx .. steve

 

I gotta agree, that thing is pretty damn cool. Dig the tongue.

 

Thanks! Much appreciated Rooster.

 

this thread is just blowing up...cool

 

Don't know if anyone can see this but in there is a
five ball my first ex wife threw at me!

 

You should sink the statue into your grill like a modern pirate ship and use the skull as the shift knob because its sick as hell.

 

this is in my mates 32 coupe,,its like a marble egg

 

My Norm skull. Yup, it's got braces.

 

some cool stuff to look at here , but how the hell do you even shift with some of these monsters? my 20 year old hurst t-handle with the "hurst" almost worn smooth on it suits me just fine

FINK

 

any more

 

OMG, you have a Normy Poo with braces? I should have known, that's friggin awesome man!!

 

Yup, I do. It's all I got for Christmas one year (and birthday, and...LOL). Norm and I worked on the braces part together. I got to make a couple of trips to his house during the process (between the planning and my making the braces and bringing them up to him to be put in), which made it even cooler. I had it done for my chevy and maybe one day the chevy will actually be ready for it and it can leave my desk. Right now I use it for a teaching tool during patient consultations....."If you don't wear your rubber bands, this is how long you will be in braces (waving the skull at them)." LOL

 

I found this at an antique shop last weekend.
Its a glass ball being held by a stylised claw.
As soon as I get a insert make to put in it--on it goes!

 

i bought it on ebay man no clue. sorry

 

Here's the one for my 54 f100,hand carved in bali and covered with fiberglass resin


and the one for my merc,the black one on the right;

Bernado: your videos are mind blowing.

 

Nice blacksmithing work. The twists on that shaft are very uniform.
