Product Overview
1-1/8" Ice Blue Glass Barrel Knob Ice blue glass knob in Depression Glass style known as Manhattan. Manhattan is a modern- looking pattern with a design made of molded circles that are often referred to as "ribbed pattern". The guys who make these call them "barrel" knobs, but they taper in from top to bottom, so I don't think they are barrel-shaped. But, what do I know? I do know these are beautiful glass cabinet and drawer knobs with a simple nostalgic flavor that will transform any plain old cabinet or piece of furniture into a conversation piece.
- Diameter: 1 1/8" (28.58 mm)

Please note this measurement information: The bolt (2-1/2") that comes standard with these extends beyond the back of this glass knob 1-7/16". A 2" bolt is available near the bottom of the page, often used with the smaller glass knobs, in order to have less bolt protruding out the back. D. Lawless Hardware Depression Glass Collection
Our Antique Glass Knobs are handmade in the same way that the originals on your Great Grandma's cabinet were made. This glass knob making process is more art than science, so please keep in mind that these antique glass knobs are beautiful and Gloriously Not machine-made perfect. When buying antique glass knobs it is like buying cloth, carpet, or having paint custom mixed, color may vary slightly from one shipment to the next. Or, glass pulls will not be an exact match with glass knobs. Look at some antiques with glass pulls and glass knobs and you will see that this is the way it has always been.
A pressed glass cabinet knob is made from molten glass that is pressed" into a cast iron mold of the desired shape. Similar to making taffy, only at a temperature of 1500 degrees, the ingredients for making glass, mostly sand, lime and soda (not the Mountain Dew kind) are mixed into a furnace until the mixture is molten and the consistency of taffy. Different metal and mineral powders are added to make the desired glass knob color. Then, the glass is gathered onto an iron rod, held over the top of the glass-knob-shaped mold and an appropriate sized glob" is snipped off with scissors and dropped into the open mold. The maker then pushes a plunger into the mold to press the glass into the shape of a glass knob. The glass cabinet knob is removed and slowly cooled. This technique was first patented by American inventor John P. Bakewell in 1825 to make knobs for furniture. Yes the very first pressed glass was glass furniture knobs! We also carry modern mounting ferrules in different finishes if you want the knob to mount flush in the back of the cabinet. The ferrules can be found near the bottom of the page. Call us if you have any questions.

Returns
Returns cost money. We think it is best to charge the responsible parties so that we can keep our prices low to everyone. Companies don't "absorb" costs, they pass them on. When you buy from a company that has no restocking fees, you pay for any frivolous returns that company handles, indirectly, through higher prices.
If we have done something wrong or sent defective merchandise, it is all on us. You get your money back including shipping and handling.
If you decide to return items for any reason other than their being defective, you will be responsible for outgoing costs and return shipping. Our minimum cost to process and ship an order is $8.99. You will be charged a minimum of $9.99 or a 15% restocking fee, whichever is greater. Our helpful staff will make charge determinations as objectively as possible based on individual circumstances. If there is a dispute, please remember that you catch more flies with honey. It is very hard to come to a fair conclusion if we don't each remain cordial. We are typically very understanding.
If, however, you had an order under $100.00 and paid shipping originally, we will deduct what you paid from the $9.99 baseline. Shipping and Handling charge when shipped. If you paid $8.99 or above in shipping for your under $100.00 order, there will be no additional restocking fee as we will simply keep the shipping and handling fees already collected. We believe this to be a reasonable accommodation for small orders.
Three things to consider...
- If an order is refused and returned to us, all shipping costs will be deducted from your refund.
- Restocking fees may be cancelled by taking advantage of our exchange policy below.
- Shipping and handling are not refunded. You are responsible for return shipping cost.
