Old Hometown, Cabin Fever String Band
Starting bid $2750?
Just a heads-up for anyone who might be even remotely considering this:
It appears that the long side crack runs through the tail block, and it is likely that the tailblock is split. Maybe it could be repaired from the outside, maybe not. If not, it will be necessary to pull the back to repair it.
If somebody does a really first quality restoration on this instrument, they might be lucky enough to sell it for the same price the seller is asking.

I wouldn't expect that one to fly off the shelf as it were.

As an added bonus, this strange instrument has a big crack in its top.
With all the things wrong with this one, the seller helpfully points out-
a piece of binding is missing.
Well heck, if that is all it needs...

And you'll be singing the blues when you get the repair bill . . .
Think that Virzi is still in there?
I live close by,I could save on shipping.
