This small body archtop model appears to be from the 1910s.
The neck is warped and the frets are generally low. The pegs are hard to move and the peg buttons are thin and difficult to turn. It will be delivered in its current condition.
The frets have been fretted and adjusted.
There is a 8 cm longitudinal crack near the fingerboard on the upper right side of the body.
The bridge has been replaced with an adjustable type, probably made of rosewood.
The pick guard has been removed and is missing. The screw holes are still in the body, and a sharp metal part that appears to be part of the hardware is sticking out on the first string side near the end of the fingerboard.
There are many dents and peeling paint on the head, and there is a 1cm chip of wood on the front end of the head.
The fingerboard has scratches with dents, and there are many scratches and dents on the back of the neck, and the paint is peeling and darkening.
There are many scratches and peeling paint all over the body, and there is a bump between the body and binding. There are scratches and peeling paint under the tailpiece that may have been caused by interference with the ball end of the strings.
