I have a few of these vintage, small, round porcelain drawer pulls; see pics below. Some have screws and “spacers” but some don’t. So I’m trying to figure out what those brass “spacers” might officially be called so I can buy some more of them. What the heck might be their official name?
Yes, maybe they are simply called “spacers” but when I try to search for “brass spacers” online I’m simply getting results for hex-shaped spacers that typically are used in PC cases and similar gear. Utterly not what this thing is.
From what I can see they basically act like big washers; they have no threads internally. They simply are used to make the knob stand off a bit from the thing — typically wood with a hole in it — for the same reason washers are used; to provide a protective middle surface.

That item is known as a “knob base stem.”
