What are current prices for Presto tailpiece (4 string) and set of 4 Grover 2 tab tuners. Both came off of old May-bell banjo. Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry about the duplicate post. After I posted the first time I checked for replies and I couldn't find my post. I assumed I did something wrong so I posted again. I didn't realize moderators had to review prior to showing up.

Here is the US we see pre war original 4 string Presto tailpieces with asking prices from $100 to $150.
The original "punched" 5 string tailpieces go for much more.
Grover 2 tab tuners aren't very popular. They are frequently removed from old banjos and offered for sale after being replaced by modern "better" tuners. Their pre-war "originality" isn't valued like you might think. They are not very good, when you get right down to it. You see them offered for $100 for a set of four, and sometimes they don't sell very fast.
That has been my experience anyway.
