These were on eBay advertised as "Kay Harmony Stella Guitar Tuners 1950s" which they are not! I believe they are early 20th century and the tuner posts are a push fit into the gears. Jake Wildwood shows the same set on a Victoria flat top that he thinks was made by Oscar Schmidt circa 1920. On his photo you can see that the gears have screws attaching the gears to the posts. I assume that was done as one gear has been replaced on this set and one seems to have a penchant for loosening itself. The string posts are slender which might translate to banjo mandolin but not necessarily. My guess is Waverly as the maker but that may be wrong.
