Does anyone know the thread/nut size used in these style lamp jewels?

Unfamiliar with that brand. I think you're going to have to buy one and measure it, unless the seller actually knows.

Not interested in buying these. I have a stash of old jewels like the ones in the auction w/o nuts, so I need them. These are not like the typical Fender type screw-in jewels. Been through just about every nut in my junk pile of hardware and none of them fit.

You should take one of yours to the nearest Ace Hardware and start experimenting. It might be metric; it might be a non-standard size. I build a plug-in master volume for the VHT Special 6 Ultra and it took three trips to Ace before I found the right tap for what I needed. $80 in parts to build a $30 item. Better sell more I guess.

I hear ya.
Thought someone would know off hand the size, since they were fairly popular in their day. Looks like I'll be going to the hw store...

Why don't you just ask the seller the size. Not an unusual request about a nut mounted item.
