"From back in the '60s?" Don't believe so.

That tailpiece does not have the slot in it. Didn't all '60s tailpieces have the slot?

Ken, as far as I know, they all did.

Maybe he should just relist the box separately:

"Empty, torn, possibly '60s-vintage cardboard box that once held Rickenbacker strings."

What would you be willing to bid?

it looks more like a tailpiece from '73-75 range ...

I e-mailed the seller to let him know that his bridge was a post '72 unit and although he said "thanks", he hasn't changed his auction. I think I may bid on this bridge though anyway.
