View Full Version : Am I right in thinking this is NOT a Waverly cloud tailpiece?

It doesn't quite look like one (http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-MANDOLIN-TAILPIECE-USED-/160459556365?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item255c22860d) to me.

It's difficult to tell from that angle, and the seller flat-out refuses to provide a better photo.

This tailpiece was used by Regal and others. I don't know if they were made by Waverly or not.

Seller is not too helpful and would not even supply a head on photo.

Yeah, the Regal tailpiece has only 4 bumps on it. The Waverly has 5:

There's my front porch rail again. Martin, the one on eBay is like the one on the picture of my Uncle's mandolin above. The base looks the same. One of these days I'll see if the covers are interchangeable.
