swspyder says: 5/5/2014 7:12:32 AM Good point it does look thicker-maybe ? May be due to brass sourcing at the time if it is.I'm measuring the one that's on my homepage now and it's .05in.Never measured it before.It's been in the closet for a few years.

The story on it is that I was looking around Ebay for banjos about midnight one night and some interesting looking Buckbee (most likely) just listed for $125.00 (but it now). The banjo was a flushfret and had original pegs, nothing was cut up, 11 inch pot and yes...the tailpiece. I couldn't hit the buy it now button fast enough....and No, the rest of the banjo was not a Cubley... I threw a no knot tailpiece on it and some Nylguts and resold the banjo, and now have the tailpiece in a safe spot. If I ever decide to part with it, I'll let you guys know first:) All the best, Matt
