Sorry about that - my bad. I misread some of the info that Bob and I talked about.

I'll update the order link to reflect that it's only a 1937 year part.

Thanks,
Crin

PRE-ORDER (If there's interest) - 1937 Light Switch Knob Assembly

Home away from home

Hi all,

At the recommendation of a fellow member, I wanted to see if there's any interest in this item. This is a light switch knob for 1937 cars.

For 1937 cars, item number 315580. According to a Max Merritt data sheet, this fits 120C, 120CA, 120CD, 138CD and 115C vehicles.

Here are a few pictures and the link where you can order one.

https://whiteglovecollection.com/shop/1935-1941-packard-light-switch-knob-pre-order/

As with the ignition switch bezel I need a minimum order of 10 pieces before it can go to production.

The knob and escutcheon are machined brass and triple chrome plated. The rod is steel.

Thank you,
Crin

Another item that is rare due to its silly method of assembly is the light switch knob on at least the '37 model 120. They made a record number of '37 cars that year and the 120 had about 50,000. If I did up a drawing would you be interested in re-creating it? I could see adding a small feature to allow wrench access to the escutcheon to so that assembly would not involve harming the decorative surfaces.
The knob and escutcheon could be turned brass from a screw machine with an acid etched "L" on the face and the rod is simple 3/16 steel with a threaded end to screw into the knob and the use of lock-tight type adhesive to keep the two as a unit. Chrome plating is also necessary.
Let me know if you are interested.

Absolutely. I mentioned in a previous post that I am proficient in 3d cad (I design rockets for Blue Origin during the day...) and if you can send me a napkin sketch I can turn it into a cad model and get some manufacturing prices.

Feel free to email me at sales@whiteglovecollection.com

Happy to help. That's why we're all here.

I guess Mike's not man enough to apologize... I did receive a wonderful email from another gent on here and it's very much appreciated.

Stay tuned for more goodies I have in work. One of the big ones is a complete running board light that was made by Don Sommer. That's the next thing on my list.

That's pretty cool. I wonder how they get the pattern as they put the paint (or whatever it is) on top of the water.

Hi,

I used to woodgrain dashes about a decade ago like this and using the plate and roller method as they did originally.

With hydro dipping, the pattern of the woodgrain is printed on a sheet much like window tint but thinner. You have to cut the sheet to size and lay it on top of the water in that tank which is heated to a specific temp. It almost liquifies that film and when you push the part through it, it transfers onto the part. It's really, really cool to do (at least the first few times). Once the film is transferred to the part you just use automotive clear coat to lock it in. It's really slick and soooo much easier than the plates and rollers which only cover a portion of the part and subsequent applications of the grain have to be blended at the seams which can be pretty tedious depending on the grain.
