From what you say, Dan, I would guess a rack and pinion car would perhaps be more likely to have the 'squared' finger lift, and presumably the more commonly-available knob with the metal lower segment?
Thanks guys, very helpful

Those measurements are consistent with mine. I have photos of CSX2459, and interestingly, it has the older style shift knob on it, like Jeff's. I have originals of both styles, but I am leaning toward the early one as in the photos...

I've seen some supposedly unrestored cars that have Philips screws but have also read that slotted screws were used throughout the car.

Seems like I recall that Dan said that those screws are Phillips-head...
