Hi. Just spotted a bowlback wreck with an interesting label. Creatore di ..(Dolce?).. Melodie, Catania. Premiato Stabilimento di Strumenti Musicale.
Does anyone has a photo of an intact label like that?

I looked through all my files but can’t find a similar Catania label. The two lobed headstock is common but not exactly that shape.

Victor: I don't see the word Catania on the label. Was it just mentioned elsewhere? Are you sure it was made in Catania?
Seems like an old label with a lyre on it should be common. I am just curious what those letters are at the bottom of the label. Looks like CA..MN?
