We recently purchased this collection of Spinner Knobs from a avid collector. The nearly 200 knobs were acquired over a 25 year span. We will be listing some of them here and the entire collection is on display in our shop. If there is a knob that you are looking for and don't see on these pages please email me the details and I check our stock.
"I wanted to let you know that I received the wooden steering knob Thursday afternoon and had it in time for my boyfriend's birthday dinner that evening. He was so impressed and he loved it! Thank you so much!" Kelly

What's in a name? Steering wheel knobs where used to help turn the large, non-power steering equipped cars and trucks and as people started personalizing their cars knobs became more of a statement in addition to being a tool. The term 'Suicide Knob' most likely refered to the unfortunate result of getting the knob stuck in your sleeve while driving. 'Necker Knob' was derived from the added feature of being able to steer with one hand and, in the days of bench seats, put your arm around your favorite girl. I am still trying to find the origin of the term 'Brodie Knob,' possibly spelled Brody.
I would be interested in obtaining any other names and information, like sales catalogs or pictures on old cars. Please email me. |
