Do you mean blue or blue marble ?

I would guess it would be a marble, to match the steering wheel? It has a solid burgundy knob on it now, if any one needs that color.

The one on ebay is for a 52. only year they had the marbled one.

Well not quite. They were available prior to the 52 model year.

the blue marble shift knob was used only in 52 with blue striped interior, as per parts manual in a 48 to 54 manual

If you go to the 48-54 parts manual on page 140 it clearly shows the ivory and blue knob available in 1950-51 as as part 303729 and in 1952 as part 304495. In 1953 the color was a solid color and it was now part 308957. Besides I've taken too many blue marble wheels,gearshift knobs, and antenna knobs off 1951 cars to know .lol.

I sell a blue shift knob in either light blue or dark blue. The colors don't match Hudson Blue. They are all one color, the inlaid area is the same color as the rest of the knob. They are $20 plus $5 shipping. See stepdownplastics.com if you'd like more info. Rob

Thanks for the compliments Doc. I would like to make knobs for other than Step downs and hope to if I get time. Right now I am 100% busy with the 51-53 Hornet steering wheels and then I will be doing the 54 Hornet steering wheel. When I get the time I will take you up on your offer and get those knobs from you to make molds from if your offer still stands.
Yes I do definitely want to do the blue spruce color but there again I need to get the time to match the color. I haven't totally learned the color matching aspect of casting yet but I have been working on it.
As far as the chrome colored plastic, you know a lot more about it than I do. I do hope I can figure it out someday though. One thing I would like to learn to do is the horn button, that goes with the pacemaker steering wheels and they have the chrome on it. Rob

I guess it depends on your definition of blue marbled. The 52s were definately different than the 51s. Maybe people did like I did years ago- changed them when I found something I liked better.
