I'm sure others have their own little gems, and I've love to see them. Here are the ones I've found today while unboxing the 2+2... btw what's the right shifter knob for an M-20 car? Shouldn't have a shift pattern on it because the console does, so I imagine it's plain, but black or silver, I have both? Or white?

This photo is from a 35000 mile 427 '69 2+2. Of course over the years the knob could have been changed but nothing else in the car was modified at all.
4.006 KNOB, TRANSMISSION CONTROL LEVEL
1 1969 ALL/ST - WITH COLUMN SHIFT - BLACK
1 1969 ALL/ST - BLACK
So it sure sounds like black to me, and my car came with a black one, but all these examples above are white and silver! Is there a different knob section I missed? Doesn't make sense!
I think that is for a 3 on the tree knob. My book has a 4 speed knob listed, 3922525 with bucket seats, 3921147 with bench. No mention of what finish is on it.

I see yours is chain printed in 1969 and mine is typeset in 1970. You'd think that'd make mine the more reliable, but between this and the weird carburetor numbers, I'm not so sure anymore!
I think if you go back a page your will find what you need for 4 speed. The 2 knob numbers you have listed are at the tail end of the section. There must be a bunch before the part you posted.

I'm pretty sure the Canadian Pontiac B body 4 spds ( console) would have been the chrome version , as all of the Chev B bodies used chrome for console equipped 4 spd , and Black ( with shift pattern) for bench cars . Everything else 4 spd related , is the same as the Chev's
The chrome ball in the picture looks to be the original . ( How much does the ball weigh?...... that will tell you if it is the real deal )
Might as well plate it, but aren't they a satin finish of some kind? Or is that just when they're old? ie: are they shiny chrome when new or more like cigarette package aluminum foil finish?
For what it's worth, mine appears to be "peeling" off an aluminum style finish.
