This instrument comes from the large collection of instruments from a retired bar owner from Angola, IN. I have been selling his instruments in batches... We are on batch 3. Many of these have no markings but if you know something about the instrument, I would surely appreciate any information. Please note: there is NO RETURN on any of these instruments. They are valuable antiques and shipping back-and-forth only hurts the instrument. Please ask enough questions and asked for pictures so that you\'re comfortable offerding! I am an honest seller and will do my very best to describe as best I can see.The owner, now in his early 80s, has parted with many of his collection but I am helping him sell the final pieces. I know very little about them so any help from YOU the buyers will help get this into the right hands. All his instruments have been purchased with care by him for many, many years but since then have hung on the wall of his bar. I would consider them all, (some are still playable) project pieces that need cleaning up and some TLC. I am selling AS IS. I will try to describe the defects I see but you are welcome to ask questions. If you are close, you can pick them up but if not, I charge proper shipping on these as they will be packed carefully and will be oversized.Mfg: First Institute of Allied ArtsFlaws: This has been hanging in a bar for many years, so it probably is coated in cigarette smoke, so it is dirty. The back is seperating at the top (pictured). There is a small crack in the front by the gold design. The gold piece also needs to be tightened.The case is not perfect ... Basically I am throwing it in. It still closes, but is dirty. Ask enough questions that you are comfortable winning this valuable item. I pack very well but shipping once is risky enough on these pieces. I pray every time they leave my office.
