Solid Brass Cabinet/Furniture Knobs for Cabs Count - *SOLD* I recently had the opportunity to purchase part of the remaining inventory of a large high-end Furniture manufacturing plant that closed down here in North Carolina. Among the inventory I obtained were fourteen and a half boxes of twenty-five each (360 knobs total) of these solid brass machine turned knobs that are ideal for mounting cabochons in to make really unique cabinet and furniture hardware. These knobs are machine turned from solid brass so there are no unsightly seams as are found on the cheap die-cast knobs sold at the home improvement box stores. Also these knobs are coated with satin sheen acrylic lacquer to resist tarnishing. They have a 1/16" deep center inset and will accept an approximately 37mm round Cabochon. The overall measurements without a stone is 42mm in diameter by 25mm from front to back. Cabs will need to be epoxied in place. I would recommend not polishing the backs of the cabs and scuffing up the surface of the recessed area before gluing for better adhesion. I am offering these knobs for $1.00 each (plus shipping) or $22.00 per full box of twenty-five (plus shipping). Various views of a few of these knobs may be seen in the seven photos below. The two photos with cabs have cabs photoshopped in place. Cabs are not included in sale. Anyone interested please post how many you would like on this thread so others will have an idea of how many are left available, and please send me an email with your order to and I will send you a PayPal Invoice. Orders will be filled on a first received e-mail bases. Thank you for looking! Larry C.

Ok thats way cool!!! Wonder 8f you put them in acetone if it would take the coating off? I like tarnish/patina?

Yes if you would like to change the appearance to a brighter, or an antiqued tarnished look, soaking them in acetone or lacquer thinner either one for a few hours would dissolve the acrylic lacquer coating. Paint stripper would dissolve it in just a few minutes. Larry C.
