I recently came across some apparently NOS large Philco rosette style knobs. Some were still in original unmarked packaging. What was unusual is that all of them had a 1/8” hole drilled right through the center. Surely a factory job, as each one is absolutely perfect. Any explanation for this strange phenomenon?
