Left to right:

Silvestri Serie D'Arte - to be restored
1929 Calace - to be repaired
No name rustic bowlback - the only playable one:)

I guess it is impossible to find out who is the maker of a rustic one, but if you have an idea, please let me know. Thanks.

I used to have one of those "hole in the head" Calaces. Nice instrument. Worth restoring.

Nice little posse. I like the scratchplate on the Silvestri. Note the neck profile difference on the US made bowl compared to the Italians: a Louisville Slugger.

Thanks, Mick. I didn't have a clue that the rustic one was US made. I got it here in Australia a while back, in fact it was my first mando. and always thought it is Italian :)
