Here’s what she looks like. You can tell it’s broken because of the way it is.

I believe Sherwood is actually a brand name, not a model. There were a number of brands that were all made by Valco, including Sherwood, Kay, Supro, Oahu, National, etc. Excepting the logos and fretboards, a lot of them were basically identical from brand to brand.
Your tuners are different than the guitar you linked on Reverb, yours are closed back, probably Klusons. The Klusons are still available, though it's not really the same company any more, Gotoh also makes really nice replicas. Can't tell from your pic, but if they're mounted on a plate you'll want verify the post and screw spacing. They are mostly all the same, posts are typically 1-3/8" O.C.

These are not mounted to a plate. Let me post 2 more pictures to give more context. The gotoh ones look similar but only offer gold and nickel while these are off white colored. I’d rather just buy a (idk the proper term) peg? Just the white thing, since that’s the only thing that’s broken. I don’t need a whole new set of tuners.

| Stewart MacDonald sells replacement knobs that might work. Just search around. Google is your friend. FWIW, if one knob has disintegrated like that, the others are probably not far behind. Good luck |

Ended up ordering a set of Gotoh SD90 replicas. I'll let y'all know how it works out.

A wise decision. You can't go wrong with new Gotohs; they're excellent tuners.
You should be able to reuse the original Kluson ferrules (and screws). If you want to install the new Gotoh ferrules, you'll likely need to ream a smidgen of wood from the top side of the tuner holes. Be sure to save the original Klusons, as they can be re-buttoned in the future if desired. |

Thanks for the tip... I really don't want to have to do any woodwork.
