    Description

    This instrument needs restoration and is missing the strings for B E & F on the left side and the second string for C (15) on the right side. There is a crack on the top side and also one on the back side. Its about 20" tall on the left side and 13" wide across the bottom.
    We think the label that says "Special Panama Model 1915" might be part of the Panama-Pacific Exposition of 1915 which was in San Francisco and was a worlds fair known as "The Fair". We are not sure though.
    This came from an Estate Auction in Missoula, Montana and I wish I knew how to play it, but I don't and that is why I want to sell it to someone that might know how to fix it and enjoy it.
