Builder: Unknown Year: 1910-1930s   Description: 4 String Violin Dimensions: 18 by 6 inches Body: Invincible? cigar box, 8.5 by 6.5 by 2 inches Scale Length: 11 inches? Notes: This is an excellent example of a hand crafted instrument. The cigar branding and caution marks are barely legible. The form of the caution notice on the back is typical of the marking requirements beginning in 1910.The box is very fragile and nails have been added along the way to replace the failed glue joints. The neck, finger board, tuning pegs and tailpiece are clearly hand carved. The fingerboard is quite rough. The hand painted snake on the back is an outstanding piece of art that mimics the rattlesnake in the Dont Tread on Me Gadsden flag of the revolutionary war.  Next: J. S, Whitmoyer Build

Builder: Unknown Year: 1960 Description: 1 String Ukulele Dimensions: 31 by 4 3/4 inches Body: Brown cigar box, 4 3/4 by 7 3/8 by 2 inches Scale Length:  Notes: From Bill: eBay auction find. Unknown maker. The previous owner had this in their possession for around 40 years before selling. It does not include bow. Unusual for its metal tuning peg. Also unusual for the placement of a 2nd bridge which would seem to cause more problems than it would correct. Great inlay fret markers make this a finely crafted instrument.   NEXT Basic Build Violin
