From Bill:

Absolutely amazing and tiny cigar box guitar. The builder cut the box in half and created a miniature instrument for a child. Originally it had 6 strings. A gorgeous piece… Hand carved tuners, a very small neck and a scaled down box. This instrument is smaller than a ukulele and was made for one lucky child. Date unknown, but was probably 1910-1920.
