In 1933, the Harry Davies Molding Company began with only seven molding presses and three punch presses, located in downtown Chicago. This 1960's picture, in front of the molding facility at 1428 N. Wells St., lists the phenolic material molded at that time:   Phenolic Material Bakelite Beetle Durez Durite Makalot Plaskon Resinox. The Harry Davies Company also molded the popular Daka-ware brand of ashtrays and cookware knobs and handles.

The answer is clear- plastic knobs with clear skirts

Plastic knobs with clear skirts are used primarily in the food service equipment and electrical industries.  The clear skirt accentuates the printed graphics and gives it a “pop” unlike conventional aluminum skirts.  Another benefit of using a clear skirt is the ability to print on the back side of the skirt, which even after many years won’t rub off like traditional pad printing on the top side of the skirt.  Want to learn more about clear skirts? View the clear skirt part specification and search for additional skirted control knob information.

Reduce Costs by switching your metal parts to plastic

Are your metal parts rusting or denting?  Do you need multiple operations such as welding and bending to machine your metal part?  If you answered yes to either of those questions, you should consider switching to a plastic part.  Plastic parts resist rust and denting, can be custom colored, and have high impact strength - not to mention are cheaper to produce.  Want to learn more?  We've put together a 24-page ebook to help you learn more converting metal to plastic parts and about the molding process-click here to view our optimized process, or call to schedule a design consultation today.  Visit our product portfolio to learn more about metal to plastic conversion parts for the Automotive, HVAC, and food Service Industries.
