Even that eBay one says it’s remanufactured. 150 quid for not even original?

Well, somebody must think it's worth it as it's been sold!
To be fair, recovering a gearknob to a high standard looks like it would be a fiddly time-consuming job.

I love the turgid feel of a leather knob trembling in my hand.
