Looking for some volume/tone pot controls like the ones shown in the pics. They are chicken head type which are readily available but with ring around showing the numbers.
I'm guessing the original ones were Bakelite. Does anyone know exactly what this type was called? Perhaps somebody manufacturers something similar today. If not, it would be helpful to know exactly what they are/where called in order to try and find some original ones!

The ring showing the numbers is called a 'bezel'.
You could try searching for control knobs and bezels.
This auction site calls it a "dial plate scale for amplifier volume tone knob":

Thanks. Struggling to find anything like the ones in the pics. I've seen them on a few things so I'm guessing they where fairly common once.
The original knobs were made by Bulgin. Below is a vender with NOS escutcheons for sale. You could get these 3D copied by an online printer and have them altered to suit at the same time: https://www.vintage-electronics.co.uk/product/bulgin-tuning-escutcheons/
Manufacturer Name: BULGIN, Manufacturer Part No: KX0372, goes with KX0370 Knobs. No longer manufactured, but the part numbers may hel search for NOS.
Nor will that as its far too broader search term. I'm sure you where trying to helpful though 😉
Look at the pics, Pete. See how many pages you get through on ebay trying to find those ones, same as the ones I posted. See how quickly you get bored.
