I suppose anything from the Lloyd Loar era carries a premium!

Yeah thats nice but for that price one could maybe find an old Gibson A model

[NickR]

I agree! This LL era snakehead needs help:

Sure would be nice "case candy" if you have the instrument to go with it! Wonderful item!

I wonder how they came up with such a price? (it appears the seller has reduced it from TWICE that amount....)

[tryingtopick]

Thanks for posting this sale ad. Any others for sale out there? I have never seen one and wonder if there is a "market price" for this original pamphlet? Thanks in advance. Sam

Darryl Wolfe bought one of those many years ago for $475.00. I don't think there are many of them around but I haven't gone looking for them.

Something like this brochure will show up rarely and this makes it hard to know its value. The seller does not know its market price, it seems as he is lowering his price and at some point someone will snap it up. He may be open to an offer or he might just be happy to sit it out for the long haul. If one sold for $475 a while back as Mike Edgerton recalls, I would have thought that it is not massively over-priced and as a rare item it does command a premium- it is just a question, of how much?

Like many things, it’s worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.

[Bazz Jass]

Guess it's all relative. Would you pay $90 for the original pamphlet of a $10,000 instrument you own? Or $9 for a $1000 instrument you own?

I've certainly done the latter in my time.

Never owned a $100,000 instrument, so I won't have to worry about that one

Paid more than $9 for the Gibson Junior brochure to go with my mandolin. It appears that is a more common item though.

I paid more than $9.00 for the page from a wholesale catalog showing my Kalamazoo KM-11. The things we do for love.
