What years were glass door knobs used in homes?
Q. I am trying to date the year my house was built. It has original glass door knobs in almost every room. Can anyone tell me the years glass door knobs were put in homes?

Anyone know if free-standing gas ranges come w/o knobs or at least have the knobs at the top of the range?
Q. I currently have an electric range and the knobs are out of the way of little fingers, but we are hopefully moving and the house is gas. Thanks in advance.

A. Gas ranges have the knobs in the front. It's a matter of engineering since the gas valves are directly behind them.

A. Your hardware store should have a paint (one is call Fusion) that is made for plastic. Just clean off any dirt, grease or oil and paint them white. Really works well, doesn't cost much and is easy to use.
