During lockdown we have taken to doing a bit of furniture up cycling particularly vintage 50’s & 60’s items.
Many of the metal items record racks/magazine racks etc have little conical shaped rubber stoppers on the ends, they’re like feet but don’t normally go on the bottom of the item, they are used as decoration as opposed to serving a purpose.
Would anybody hazard a guess as to what they are called, to enable me to try & purchase some?
TIA.

Try send pics of what you have to local auctioneers near you?
They often have experts/specialists that can advise in a particular field...
Other than that try trawling:-
e-bay?
Etsy
Pinterest

Thanks after searching the net, these are a relatively modern item designed to stop things getting damaged or make things quieter.
What I’m after is something 50 years older which to my mind are just used for asethics. |

"Rubber ferrules? "
The words caps, tips & ferrules have been very helpful in my search, although I haven’t found exactly the right thing yet, I’m a lot further forward than when I started.
Thanks everybody for your words of wisdom. |

"Look like a bakelite knob?
Similar but they’re normally round I think, these are more cylindrical, made of rubber or plastic & just push on & off easily, hence many items have these missing. "
Looks like you're describing a ferrule. |
