Aftermarket shift knobs were likely the first auto accessory ever made. So as soon as someone thought of the shifter I would guess that the next day someone else thought of the custom shift knob. There was already an industry producing slag glass products before there were cars so shift knobs were being made as soon as there was a demand for them. I don't know the year but very close to 1900 wouldn't surprise me.
