My story is a little different. My new wife and I looked at a rent house in central Lubbock, Texas in 1972. We think it may have been built in the 40's. I was walking around and saw a step stool in a closet that had an opening going into the attic. Being the nosy person I am, I got up on the stool and took a look. It had the knobs and tubes, without any insulation showing anywhere at all. I don't know if it was done that way or the insulation had fallen off or been eaten by whatever. My next thought was that maybe it wasn't live. Wrong on that one. I had a meter with me and after thanking the landlord for letting me look, we went elsewhere. The house is still there, don't know if it's still wired the same though.
On another note, a competitor of the store I work for went out of business about 15 years ago. We were offered the inventory at a good deal. In the back room there were several boxes of new knobs and tubes, nails and all. They were unopened and had 100 "sets" in each box. I captured two of them, opened one and left the other unopened.
