    Certainly a challenge and beyond me. Looks like a radio set knob has been fitted in the long past time.

    @Walkop

    There’s a close relationship between Collins Bros, Gloria (Australia), and JB Chandler. JB Chandler established JB Chandler & Co. which became “Chandlers”. Chandlers were a major retailer in, among other things, electrical goods.

    There are a few Collins Bros and Gloria knobs that look to be straight off a valve radiogram.

    Cheers
