Re: Where is this exquisite Lyon & Healy Style A?

I am about to show it to someone who is interested in buying it, but I am not sure if we are singing from the same hymn sheet pricewise! It is in very reasonable condition, and I wonder if you, or anyone else reading this on the Forum, could give me a rough idea as to the price I should be asking. We are in the UK where perhaps the market is different, but it is almost impossible to find out here, as the only reputable shop was not interested in even seeing it. Would be very glad to have any ideas. Thank you.
I think people on this forum could very easily help you but it would be essential for you to first post pictures of views from the top, bottom, back, closeup and full length side views, front and back of peghead, and a clear picture of the label. If there are any specific blemishes, a close up of them. Could you do that please?
