Knob and tube was used up into the late '50's in the rural areas.

Oh, and you also said one contractor said you might have k n tube
wiring? Shouldn't be, if the house is only from the 50's. But I'd
figure that out first. Not sure I'd put anything on top of k n tube,
because if it's there, sooner or later you'll have to address that and
if you bury it in insulation, it just makes the rewire harder.
