Here is something you NEVER see listed for sale anywhere. Perhaps someone here will see the benefit in grabbing these while you still can?

I have three complete sets of 1940's/50's era Kluson tuner buttons. These buttons are all exceptionally unique and certainly rarer than the tuners that they appeared on! All buttons are in good condition, still solid and functional, and perfect for your restoration considerations, now or sometime in the future when you're likely to need something like this and will never be able to find it!

1. A VERY rare set of rectangular coral color Kluson tuner buttons for a late 1940's/early 1950's Gibson Ultratone lap steel guitar. Anyone familiar with that model will quickly recognize these buttons for their unique coral rectangular shape. Good luck ever finding a set of buttons like this for sale. Will consider selling them individually for $30 to the person who just needs one or $125 for the complete set. Find another set for sale anywhere!

2. A set of colorful Kluson tuner buttons that most likely came from a Magnatone lap steel or something along that line? $75/set.

3. A set of 'butterfly' shaped buttons that most likely came from a set of tuners for a National guitar like the Glenwood model seen with Kluson Super tuners. $100/set.

4. A single amber color Kluson tuner button. I'm not sure what guitar this came from but it is unique. $20.

I thought my post mentions that but, to repeat, the rectangular coral buttons are from a Gibson Ultratone lap steel guitar as are the colorful buttons most likely from a Magnatone steel guitar. The 'butterfly' shaped buttons are most likely from a Nation 6 string guitar. Can't tell you about the single amber color button but it could be a Regal lap steel?

These old vintage KLuson tuner knobs/buttons aren't the kind of thing you typically see listed for sale anywhere which means good luck finding these if you ever find yourself needing them. Maybe someone here will realize that which is why I decided to post them here instead of on Reverb or eBay.

Nobody needs any buttons for their old lap steels?
