Original set of Waverly 5038 tuning machines from the early 1940s, as used on Martin D-28 and D-18 models from the 1941–1943 period, among others. Complete, original sets from this period are rare and are becoming increasingly difficult to find, especially in such fine condition.
This set has retained much of its original nickel finish. The base plates are completely smooth and show no tooling marks. In contrast, these tooling marks are visible on the later, postwar Waverly tuners.
The so-called “Yoda” version of the Waverly 5038 was used by Martin, among others, from the late 1930s until around 1953. Within this series, early examples (up to around 1946) can be identified by their smooth base plates without tooling marks. This set belongs to this early version and is therefore particularly well-suited for the accurate restoration of, for example, a Martin or Larson Brothers guitar from the 1940s, or for collectors of original vintage parts.
The ferrules are missing.
