1950's gibson bridge tailpiece gibson ES-175

Description

This is an early 1950's Gibson ES175 tailpiece in working condition.
It does look used and on the bottom side you can see a lot of discoloring around the hinge part.
The whole piece is in working condition its not broken where the hinge is.It still moves back and forth can feel a little loose maybe but it moves back and forth like it should.
I cant tell if that part has ever been repaired or if it was made that way.
After looking at the underside it can look a bit rough I never noticed it or really looked at that part.
After looking into these I don't know if it has been repaired at some point.
The smaller part where you screw it to the guitar has somethings wrong with it maybe its not flat and some parts look bent you can see in the photos.
The photos of it on the guitar can show it will still bolt on and work.
It does show signs of honest use this was just removed from a working early Gibson es 175 you can see the photo of the label inside the guitar it shows an early date.
This tailpiece was always on this guitar,I sold the neck pickup and it was the correct year according to the label inside of the guitar that shows the serial number.
Please ask if there is any questions about this item.
Thank you for looking.
