I just spotted a Hagstrom vintage bridge on eBay. It is definitely a model made for use with Tremer vibrato because the bridge doesn't have thru holes to mount on the bridge posts.
Bridges for use with tremers balance and pivot on the stud post. Bridges that use a stop have the holes drilled all the way through. My wording may be difficult to understand so just bear with me for now.

One of the really interesting things about this bridge is it comes with little post "feet" that are used with Aristocrats and Freshman. I have never seen one of these bridges used on those guitars. Curious if it is stock set.

I've owned a bunch of Hagstrom electrics -- the bridge is right.

The smaller part of the adjustable feet were countersunk into solidbody electrics. The flared larger part indicates that this bridge would have been used on archtop models. (The smaller bits unscrew from the flared feet, so they can be used on solidbodies if that's your intention.)
