I'm building my own custom 7-string Tele, so I had some 7-string Tele bridges made-to-order (details in
this thread on sevenstring.org). Like anything made in small numbers, they cost a lot, so I got a few extras and now I'm selling them off.
Like the original 1950s Fender bridges, mine are made from cold-rolled steel for that twangy Tele tone. They hold seven individual string saddles, barrel-shaped like the ones on classic Teles. I designed them to fit the 7-string Tele
bridge pickup that the
Seymour Duncan Custom Shop makes--I have one and it sounds awesome. The chrome finish isn't perfect--the steel has tiny striations in it, as you can see in the picture; the chrome plating is very shiny, but the striations show through. The edges are also not perfectly smooth, but they aren't rough enough to be sharp or painful. Here's a pic:

I'm selling them for $150 with seven saddles, and $158 with saddles and the string ferrules that go into the back of the body. I know that's expensive, but it's exactly the same price I paid to have them made and to buy all the saddles. They're the only 7-string Tele bridge available anywhere in the world, and once they're gone I doubt there will ever be any more.
PM me if you're interested--thanks. And here's what they look like on a 7-string Tele.
