Hmmhmm, this is a modern German knob. Should it be we are behind the world’s modern technology? ;-) It’s just a little bit broken and dirty – part of a farmer’s irrigation system.
Thank you.
Don’t know about the technology of knobs, but I suspect that these are more expensive to cast than simpler designs. The one in your photo looks like it has broken from twisting too hard because of a frozen valve. Still like the detail of dirt and corrosion here.
Valves with these antique knobs are usually frozen in place by time and corrosion, so that is serious. Like this photo detail.
