    Description

    I am all out of snug-fitting vintage Top Hat knobs.  This one fits loose on my vintage USA switch.  Otherwise, it's in great condition.  It's being offered at a reduced price.
    This is not a reissue.  It is an actual vintage and
    Made In the USA
    part.  It is an original old knob, not a reproduction, and the difference is clear.  Please see pics that show the authentic vs reissue knobs side-by-side.
    The reissue knobs are good knobs and I use them by the dozen.  But if you have to have an authentic knob for your authentic Fender instrument, this is the one.
    This is an original vintage top hat switch tip made and patented by Daka-Ware.  The Dakaware marking is on the bottom along with "Chicago" and a patent number.  This vintage knob will fit the 3/16" USA-made selector switches, not 3.5mm switches.  I don't think Daka-Ware made any metric switches.
    I cleaned and inspected the knob closely.  The bottom of the knob can be a little uneven.  Because of its age, this knob may have some minor scuffs and marks.
    The picture is not the actual switch tip but is representative of the one you will get.  These tips are clean and fit loose on the switch.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.
