   Looking for some help on this walnut shift knob with a cobra snake on it. A guy is bugging me about selling it to him but I have no Idea what its worth. I do know its on page two of the ` 60 s Shelby catalogue.

Going to have to post a picture to help out. There are originals, aftermarket and reproductions depending on which one you have - then you have condition to consider.

Guessing that when you tried the search feature (always a good place to start IMHO) you found the following

Yes, this is the Shelby aftermarket shift knob as seen in the Shelby catalog's from the mid '60s on.  It was available in both a leather wrapped version and this wood version, as well as in a Mustang, Cougar or Cobra motif.  I have found them with two mounting hole size varieties, so if you plan to mount and use it for a particular application, check if it is right for you.  If it is just for a collection, then it doesn't really matter.  I see them selling regularly from anywhere between $100 to $250, as confirmed per Worthpoint.com (A really cool website that lists the auction results for previous eBay listings, FYI)

There is a seller on eBay that makes a not so good wooden copy that lists for $65, and there is a beat up original wood example that has not been selling for a few weeks now priced at $250.  That should give you a good idea as to how to price this.  Lastly, I've attached a copy of my current shift knob collection.  These are fun to collect, IMHO.  Not a huge investment, but you're still collecting something Shelby from back in the day.  Not all of us can afford '65 R models, lol.  ;)
