Default shifter ball help needed

What were these shifter balls originally outfitted on and how much are they worth (roughly)?

Thanks.
-Dan

Good question... I'm not too keen on the thread sizes... what is the best way to determine them?

A bolt came with the white one... coarse thread... thats about the best I can do...

Easiest way is to take them to Home Depot and start trying different bolts to determine the thread size.

They are the older versions. The 2 piece style with the seam. They are worth more but not sure how much more. A question for GTO-DON

As I recall they both came in coarse and fine threads. (3/8 - 5/16 ) Seems like the Black ones are more rare now.
I've seen them sell from $40 to over $75 each. Those look to be in nice shape.
GTO Don or the Barr Bros would be my go-to guys for a better 'appraisal'.

The white one looks similar to this, but the font is slightly different:

The GM knobs are a different story. That looks like early Corvette stuff.

I'm guessing the one's Dan has are Hurst issue.
