When I opened the box from this recent purchase you could have knocked me over with a feather!
1968 S/N B 089:
After washing it behind the ears I was stunned - this thing is near mint!
No fretwear, no missing or chipped ears, no cracks in the top, no cracks on the neck, and the spot on the bowl that was supposed a chip tiurned out to be some hard stuff that chipped off and then polished out.
I feel like the guy that found a Cobra in his neighbor's barn. |

| I was lo-balling that one so I could send iffy back the 1763.... but glad you got it, cuz I wound up in the hospital again, and now have even more bills we can't cover :( . just got out yesterday... good news, didn't damage my heart appreciably, better news... they're finally gonna give me my gall-bladder surgery. getting me on the schedule for next week.
pictures showed it pretty dirty in the ad, but I knew it would clean up great.
