If you haven't seen this site it's worthwhile to take a trip over to it. I was looking for some original pricing information this morning and this popped up. It's a nice resource.

Yes, I like the Beare & Son catalogue- you get to see a great picture of the Beare & Son cat which the company still uses. I assume the prices are Canadian dollars. I once saw an old late 30s Harmony guitar which had a carved headstock plate which featured that cat with his fiddle!

Yes, I just discovered it too looking for some Kalamazoo instrument info. Lots of nice pages to waste time, uh, do research, if so inclined. Kudos to whoever created this.

writing about music
is like dancing,
about architecture
