Thanks for letting me know. My knob itself is ⅜ in length without the screw. The serial # is 1305.

Hmmm...mine is only ¾" in length.
Pooley may have just used what they could get. There were at least three variants, (the machines with the little hidden drawer, the later machines in the first batch without the hidden drawer and the final flat tops with the worm drive, horn with the larger casting and smaller drawer, (traits that carried over to the dome top VTLA and L-Door VV-XVI).

The Hortons that I referenced were the same size as the knobs that were with mine. With something this old the knobs that we think are original may have replaced lost or damaged knobs.

Congratulations for finding a flat top Pooley. Just out of interest, would you be willing to post some additional pictures and add the serial number?
The serial # is 1305. The photo in this post is from the web. I will post some photos of mine when I get it cleaned up and polished...thanks.
