Hello,
I am in the process of restoring an 1890 N.E.T. & T. Co. top box. I've gotten some great advice and help from members so far.  I still need a few small parts:

(1) Bell mount screw

(1) Early binding post 1
These have grooves in the bottom in a "pinwheel" pattern for gripping the wood

(1) Early binding post (2 or 3)
There are two nearly identical types, I'll take either one:

If you have any of these rattling around in the parts box, please let me know.
