Re: American luthier
The luthier isn't listed here. I've never heard the name and the name certainly doesn't sound Italian. Is it possible S. Blotien was the owner and just glued that label in to identify his instrument? There were builders in Boston that could have built it. Both labels look to be in the same hand. I can't imagine anyone doing that kind of work and not having a proper label. The original label could have fallen out.
