Re: Looking for more information and How much is iT worth
Molto e molto Perraris show up on the Ebay or on various web site. A wide range of design styles and labels lead one to assume that they were a dealer / labeler rather than an actual builder with a consistent style or styles and a verifiable address.
Along with this goes the assumption that the Perrari mandolins were built by others in Napoli or (very likely) by folks in Catania or by other Sicilian builders.
That shouldn't suggest any relative evaluation. Some of the Perraris I have seen look quite well appointed, others distinctly ROTM.
Value is, as always, totally dependent on their playability.
A nicely detailed playable Perrari might fetch $250-300 and be a good value.
An unplayable one should be lucky to bring in $50 as a prop for a Martini & Rossi print ad.
