Thanks Fox.

That is especially strange since they spelled Guiseppe wrong (or at least unusually).
I see it should be Giuseppe?
Are they a decent quality guitar Jim?

I don't know the brand. It looks like an budget model from maybe the 1930s. Do you have the link to the auction?

Quite a few photos but not much info...

it actually looks quite nice and could be worth it. I assume the brand would not be made in Italy due to the misspelling but maybe made in the UK?
Thanks Jim, I quite like the look myself but I don't think I am going to get in a biding war, however I have made what I think is a reasonable bid, so we will see...

So close and yet so far. Oh well.
Yeah really annoying as I would of gone a little more but I got tied up elsewhere and forgot the finish time, however you know how theses thing go.. it was not to be.
It is a difficult situation for me as I live on a small island that is really expensive to get out of but, I feel a trip to London is not far away so I can at least play a few vintage tenors.
I don't have any problems splashing out the money for something I know about, tenors are very new to me.
