Has anyone ever seen knobs like this with the Porsche Crest? They came on a 1970 914 I bought. Factory? Aftermarket? If so, they are done very well. I'd like to sell them (cleaning out the garage), and would like to know what they are.

Sure. I have no idea what they are worth. They are neat though. I just wanted to make sure they aren't off of some 914-12 or something before I list them in the classifieds. :-)

Never seen knobs like that before in the 31 yrs playing with 914's.

Me neither. But, they are neat.

Very cool. Love to know more about them.

IIRC Steve, the dealers & some independent Porsche suppliers (e.g.: the old store Performance Products when in Van Nuys CA, etc.) sold those inserts to replace the factory function identifier inserts.
I always found it odd that those using these had to remember which switch did what, but apparently could not remember that their 914 was a Porsche without that line-up of reminders! 
Cheers!

Yep, sure will. But they are actually too small for the knobs. The rubber doesn't hold them in (which would be ideal). They have a sticky side.

They almost look like some applied decal
