Is that a pre-war Grover Patent Presto?

No markings, however according to Paul Hawthorne's site it is an early Saga copy, really a great tailpiece, very adjustable.

12 - Archtop, maple, two piece flange, Saga/ presto old style tailpiece. Came in wreath and h&f, 2 w/b/w concentric rings on the resonator. Has been seen with 3 piece neck, rosewood center stripe (#83xxxx, #810367), 10 ply maple pot (#810367). Same hardware, pot as -11 except for possibly the first Sumi ones (?).
This is via Paul Hawthorne.

It looked like to hole for the 3rd string might have been drilled (as in an old Presto).
What kind of rim? Is it 10-ply?

Yes, 10 ply. The tailpiece does look to have a drilled 3 string hole, but does have 5 loop end hooks.
