I now have 4 original Porsche Bakelite 901 shift knobs available to a new home. . These are the NLA Bakelite material knobs from the 1970's, not the black Plastic ones currently available. All 5 have prefect Bakelite handles, no scratches, chips or cracks. . .

2 have perfect shift pattern inserts.. There are 2 with inserts that have an extremely minor imperfection in the chrome trim around the outer trim perimeter which is sealed under the glass. . .you have to look hard to see but I wanted to disclose this fact [see last picture]. . All have crush rings installed.
There are no cracks, scratches or crazing in any of the clear buttons.

The 2 perfect ones are $125 each shipped and the other 2 are $100 each shipped.

Note: I had a question from a member who thought these were the current repops which are black plastic or nylon and generally sell for 30 -80 bucks. . Let me clarify the knobs are Old Stock Bakelite ones which had cracked / crazed buttons. I was able to get some new button inserts from Dansk. I machined the old Bakelite knobs to remove the old bad buttons and replaced with new Buttons. They were also polished to remove all scratches from the Bakelite. The optical difference is the number 5 has a slightly slanted vertical line while the original 1970's '5' is a straight vertical. .
