Bridges Part Two
  These are a few excerpts from the vintage Grover and Tonk Bros. catalogs.  Grover had the same uniformity to it's bridges in terms of overall design that the company still maintains .  I would love to see a picture of the Grover adjustable bridge if anyone has one.  
In the Tonk Bros. catalog there is an unusual design that I have never seen .  It seems to have a reversed curve cut away and deep string grooves.

Here is the adjustable Grover bridge.  I'm not sure if there is any wood on this design and the bridge is grooved to accommodate banjolins as well as seven stringed instruments.
