Just found…
…this in my garage junk. Brings back memories of the old days. Know what it is? I’m sure many do.

Knob for the cowl vent on a 1956 VW Beetle. Probably blue.

VW dash knob. Headlight switch maybe?
Imagine this: if you owned the company that did one thing - make these knobs for all the VW beetles and buses and Karmann Ghias etc plus spares, you could have retired to your own island.

We need a pic of the end to see if it's threaded.

It is threaded and many knew it was a bug dash knob…specifically headlight switch knob…I think. All the dash knobs might be the same, can’t remember. A throw back from my old VW days. Would really love to have an early bug with a fabric sunroof…but alas I only have a 2 car garage.

Ivory knob used on headlight switch and ash tray in VW bugs, buses, and Karman Ghia 1952 to 1966. Here's one from an ashtray I have in the parts pile.

^^ Yes. Soap and water will usually do it. Sometimes you need to use a little lacquer thinner to bring out the original color.
