Hi, everyone.
In case you all haven't seen it already, this popped up on ebay USA:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1895-Hutchi...19.m1438.l2649
The seller seems to know his stuff (maybe it's one of us?), and he's right that this is a rare, even historically significant, example of this optimistic side-track of the mandolin mainline. Unfortunately I can't afford to be a collector in this fashion, even though I live 20 miles from Springfield, MA where this was made so long ago, but I thought someone here might want to give it a good home. I've cross-posted in the "Bowlbacks of Note" thread.
Best to all, and keep playing. -Chris.
