Jesus, You remind me of the old violin and accordion luthier I worked with in Gothenburg, Sweden. Andresson Musik, frmr Hagström. He had his secret formula of glue cooking every day. He did incredible repairs on most Hagström guitars and accordions well into his eighties. Sadly no one was able to forward his heritage. I was just the amp tech and serviced the most amps during this era, 1970-1985, like mostly, Marshall, Hiwatt, Hagström, Vox and You name it. I do have a big collection of guitar and amps as my days of a roadie and sound engineer, since I sucked as guitar player. I really like Your Utube episodes and stay away from the Utube trolls.

I feel the same way. My family gave me a truck to work on that I really liked. I wanted to do a few things to make it more my style and to fix some issues. My brother and my dad refused to help me do it because it wasn't a perfect factory restoration. I wasn't going to rebuild the whole truck myself so I just gave it back to them and let them do what they want. Its still sitting in the same spot and its in the same condition as when I left it. Not every vintage car can or should get a $10k factory restoration. It would be better for those cars to get a new life looking a little different than it originally was, rather than letting it turn to dust wherever its sitting

Edit: As pointed out by the comment below. It is more likely for the word to be "Atrás" written in a rush it means "Back". That should be pretty self explanatory. :) Native spanish speaker here: Looks like the writing on the saddle is "A toas". I would assume it's a cuban working class man writing of "a todas" which would mean "to all". So I would assume the saddle would fit "to all" guitars. I'm probably terribly wrong but its fun to speculate on old stuff like this.
