How old do you think this dimmer knob is? And how to remove it? (lemmynsfw.com)

I'm unfortunately not there physically to help, but my mom has this light switch she needs to remove temporarily and replace the plate. Her "handyman" installed it 'brand new' within the past few years. I told her it looked like it was from the 80s haha. Anyways, she apparently cannot remove the knob for the life of her, shouldn't the knob be able to simply pull off without breaking?

This looks almost exactly like the ones I had. They were from the 70s and needed replacement to stop the lights from flickering.
