'61 to '66 Hummingbird Ceramic saddle - HELP !!!!!!

[Jim Testa]

Hi all, I have two  Gibson Hummingbirds, a '66 and a '61 (really produced in '60 as it has "R" stamped on the dovetail block in front of thre Factory order number) but it has a different Ceramic saddle than the '66.

 

Is there a re-issue of the original I can buy or can I get one made?

This '60 Hummer is a 9.8 out of 10 condition and the only thing different from original is the saddle.

 

Picture is the saddle in question on the '61

 

All ideas greatefully appreciated.

Ok, I will show my ignorance and ask; What is wrong with the saddle? It looks just like one that I have in my junk box except yours doesn't appear to have been glued back together.

I have quite a few of the ceramic saddles. If you email me at the shop ([e-mail], I will take a look at my collection. I understand they go for a fair amount on ebay.
