These are reproduction 1941(?)-1947(?) radio buttons. Not sure who made them. These are sealed bags. One bag has some minor color differences in the plastic. Also has little round plug pieces.

Please verify they match as I'm not 100% sure what models they fit.

$25 per bag, shipping included to lower 48.

An excellent price for a set of five buttons but I am thinking those may be for the 41-42 conventional body and maybe 41 Clipper radios. The conventional radio had 5 buttons but 42-47 Clipper style radios had six buttons and the nub on the back of the "plug piece" is different from the square nub visible on those pieces.

Quote:
The "plug pieces" fit in the slots at the ends of the buttons. The nub on the back is supposed to mate with the end of a long threaded screw like shaft. By turning the "plugs" the screw shaft moves a mechanism that sets the point where the button will tune a particular station when pushed.

Here is info from the accessory manual showing the different radio styles and a bit from the radio instructions showing where the "plug pieces" fit.
