Do William Lewis and Son have different label designs?
I tried taking pictures of the label on my violin... here are the best ones I could get...

I'll describe according to the 2nd picture... it says The Lewis and son (and son in small letters on the lower right)
the small words under it say Made in Germany
Lower it says The William Lewis & Son
on the right end of the label is written Mod 100 4/4 and on it... (can hardly be seen on the 4th picture) and then it has the numbers 16130 it seems to me that its stamped,
* but I cant really tell if its printed or stamped... |

We have had several discussions about the general sorts of dating that can be done based on the phrase "Made in Germany." this typically relates to instrument made before 1939, probably before 1936, but not before 1872. I know that doesn't help a lot but it does provide some dividing lines.
About half of the above photobucket urls do not work. |
