    Antique Sterling Silver Frank M. Hoover Inc. Custom Gear Shift Knob
    Before inventing the Plakie toy for small children, Hoover launched a business selling custom gear shift knobs like this one
    Later, when demand declined due to the automatic transmission, Hoover got the idea for the Plakie towy from his son
    He patented the toy and the business soon grew, with Mrs. Hoover as President
    This knob was never used as evidenced by the piece of paper still attached
