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.

If you don't receive an answer in 40 minutes do you plan on posting this question again?

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.
