I don’t have proof at hand right now, but, antique means more than 50
years old. Going by what you stated; over 25 years old only means
‘historic’ in your state. That isn’t necessarily the same as
‘antique’.

Most headlight knobs come off with the same trick. On the "back " side
of the switch, opposite the terminals, you’ll find a little
spring-loaded button. Pull the knob to the "headlight on" position and
depress the button, and the knob and shaft will come out of the switch
body. You may need to wiggle and shake it a little; sometimes they are
reluctant to come out after they’ve been in there for 20-30 years.

Could someone please point me to where I can see this photo of the
Helms truck? I didn’t see the original post that started this thread.

I have some photos of the yellow popcorn truck that used
to be part of the auto & aircraft collection at The Flying
