OK everyone. Cliff and I went into a venture together recently and here is what we have. I know many of you have been wanting the original Donzi walnut shifter knobs with either the early (propeller) or late (lion over dolphin) insignias. Well, I'm pleased to announce that we have them both!
They will be ready in about six to eight more weeks.
A little about the knobs. These things are absolutely beautiful! They are exact in every way to the originals but built to last.
A few things that we did better:
#1. The Donzi Marine insert is Cloisonne (melted glass) over solid brass and then 24K gold plated. The original ones were only Hard enamel over brass. The Cloisonne is UV resistant.
#2. The knob itself is still walnut but has been coated with a 2 part Polyurethane with a UV inhibitor. The original ones were coated in clear lacquer.
#3. The threaded inserts that are being used - they are all stainless! The original ones were pot metal.
Like I said - they are beautiful and built to last!
We are taking orders now. The price for each complete knob including a stainless jamb nut is $100.00 plus $10.00 shipping. The shipping price includes a properly packaged item and full insurance.
Like I said - They will be ready to ship in about six to eight weeks. So place your orders now. Once we run out, I don't know when we will make them again. Please leave a post here so we know who you are and what style you want.
Thanks!
