THIS IS MADE OF A STURDY PLASTIC, WHICH IS NOT ACTUALLY BAKELITE OR CELLULOID, BUT SO MANY PEOPLE USE THOSE TERMS IN THEIR SEARCH FOR OLDER PLASTIC THAT I FELT IT WOULD HELP SHOPPERS FIND THIS NICE PIECE OF MID-CENTURY HISTORY. MY BEST ESTIMATE OF ITS AGE IS 1940’S – 1950’S.

15 CHERRY RED BAKELITE KOB KNOBS CORN HOLDERS CORN ON COB SEVERAL SELLERS ON EBAY ARE ASKING $75 FOR JUST 8 OF THESE HOLDERS, AND WE ARE OFFERING ALMOST DOUBLE THAT AMOUNT WITH A SET OF 15.

BEING MADE OF BAKELITE, THIS IS NOT ONLY A SUPER COLLECTIBLE ITEM, BUT IT IS PRACTICAL TOO SINCE HOT CORN ON THE COB NEEDS SOME KIND OF HOLDER. THIS SET OF 15 PIECES WILL TAKE CARE OF 7 EARS OF CORN. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN FIND A SINGLE ONE OF THESE KNOBS ELSEWHERE TO MAKE UP A FULL SET FOR 8 PEOPLE. OR JUST THINK OF THE 15TH ONE AS A SPARE.

THESE MIGHT BE CALLED CORN PRONGS, OR CORN FORKS ALSO, BUT WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THEM, THEY ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS PRODUCT WAS MADE BY THE C. J. SCHNEIDER MANUFACTURING COMPANY OF TOLEDO, OHIO, MOST LIKELY IN THE 1930’S – 1940’S. THIS IS A VERY NICE VINTAGE BAKELITE SET SHOWING MINIMAL WEAR.

I HAVE HAD GREEN CORN HOLDERS LIKE THESE IN THEIR ORIGINAL BOX IN THE PAST AND IT SAID, KOB KNOBS – THE CORRECT WAY TO SERVE SWEET CORN.

SOME PHOTOS WERE TAKEN WITH A FLASH WHICH MAKES THE BAKELITE LOOK LIGHTER AND BRIGHTER THAN IT REALLY IS. THESE PIECES ARE THE TYPICAL MEDIUM TO SLIGHTLY DARKER RED OF BAKELITE WHICH HAS AGED FOR 70 YEARS.
