I still don't have modeling bulbs, but managed some decent "as found" shots that should give an idea of what I have to work with to people who have run into this sort of thing. Haven't done any tests yet. Gonna do some minor repairs, including a neck pullup and bushing a cracked peg hole, before I start working on varnish. biggest challenge will be to define objectives and limits. I don't want it to look "New", just more attractive to and ultimate buyer. The legend inside says it was made by Thurston Holmdale in Brooklyn, NY, USA, in 1918, from American wood, so I think we have basic origin questions pretty well settled. It's got virtually no playing wear on it, seems nicely made, and despite the strings, sounds like it has good potential.
