If you want knobs and tubes come to Oak Park, IL and you can get about a million of them. Many of the homes are pre and early 1900 and many still loaded with k&t. I have fun all the time trying to get the electrician to tie in the existing k&t properly on partial remodels.
I even saw a non-compliant installation of k&t that looked ok except for the fact that no knobs or tubes were used. Just wire run thru holes in the joists.
Yes even in the early 1900's there were the handy man specials!!
