As you can see the tip of the Bake Lite tip has been Pro cut off some.. Most likely it was falling apart.. That is what Bake Lite does folks.. Covers,Knobs,Tip.. Just didn't hold up....NOW... Like you going to really use the trem arm with bake lite tip on stage anyhow...:)
I have sold these for $3500.. They all sold quick.. They are just rare as heck... So the metal arm is 54, tip a little off.. When you open your glove box on your 1st year baby.. You will Tell in 1 second.. This is a 1954 Tremolo Arm! Threads are good on arm...
