Curious. One of the ads that pops up for Lifestyle AV is a picture of what looks like a chrome / aluminum knob with the B&O logo etched on top - Can someone please tell me what this is?  It's been bugging me for months!

 

Mike!

You are the second person to ask! Thread somewhere. It is a gearshift knob.

A very rare (and you inadvertently said what it was) gearknob for a motor car !!

It's part of the LifeStyle AV 'rarity stash' we keep under armed guard at HQ..  😕

I bought one gearknobb on ebay ten years ago, but mine is not as good looking as Lee´s in aluminium.

Mine is in leather and with the old logo. 

Anyone seen this before?

Could be a cheep copy, but it´s very nice to look at:-)

I think they are made somewhere in the 70's!
