Old & Rough Tool Case - part 17 -- Vacuuming & Cleaning the Drawer Fronts -- Middle Full Width Drawer

Before vacuuming.  The felt is is pretty rough shape, especially in the RH front side...

Something pretty heavy & rough must have been stored in this spot...

The knobs screw out


The escutcheon is a thin stamped piece of sheet steel


The edge of the escutcheon leaves an impression in the wood


The knob appears to be made of three pieces:  The screw, a shaft center section & the cap piece on top.


For now, I've decided to not remove all the knobs.
I could remove them and clean them individually, especially if I wanted to get them to be very shiny.
But, since I'm going for a cleaned but used look, just cleaning with them in place results in a more used & worn look.
