Set of 4, age/originality not important as long as they fit and work. This is for a late-1953 26" doubleneck if that makes any difference.

I’d say a grand or so. Tuners look to be upgraded. (Nut-slot spacing looks a little haphazard.) This is 1990, a time of, let’s say, variable quality and consistency just ahead of the Gibson acquis ...

I think some Sho-Buds were longer than most psgs, meaning not a lot of other types of cases would fit. Save it, sell it, pass it on.

This looks like a Chicago-era Model 37, 1936 or 37?, very similar to The famous two 37s that Mike Auldridge played for many years. If memory serves, his two had serial numbers in the 200s.
