Re: An Embergher that went back to the shop?
The address overlay makes sense.
I have a close look alike 1897 fluted bowl LE in my files, with some similar bling, but different soundhole inlays. The label shows the Via Dogali address, which according to Alex's LE History page, didn't begin until 1898...so my notes on the instrument might be mistaken.
Some low quality images from the original ebay sale.
The 1898 label is from a mandola or whatever folks were / are calling it across the way.
The handwritten note references perhaps repairs "Fece (made?) _______ e tastiera (fingerboard)" but I can't make out the second word.
Where LE wrote in the date seems to vary from side to side on the labels...hence where it is torn away on the (supposed) 1897.
Here's hoping the orbiting Embergherians will beam on down and help out with this.
