The goal of this post is to try and set a year/date/serial# of when the gear shift knob changed from cast aluminum to plastic. I think it was somewhere around 1950. My 1952 8N has the plastic knob, of course, which doesn't help this survey any. Thanks,
Eric

My 1950 8N (sn# 284922) has the original plastic (or is it bakelite?) knob. Which is consistant with Don B's statement that the change occurred around SN# 252XXX.

My 49 has the steel ball shifter. (cast). My grandfather's 52 had the plastic shifter knob. My 49 was all original when I bought it.

My 8N Serial # 174932 ('49) has a plastic Gear shift knob.
But it may not be OE
