An early Van Eps tenor,
12" rim, 15 frets, 20 1/2" Scale Length.
Maple Neck with Ebony fingerboard.
Probably late 'teens.
Calf-Skin Head.
Straight neck, with some fretwear.
All-Original, including the brass arch-top tone-ring,
tailpiece, armrest and all the hardware and Grover pegs.
Pretty much "AS-FOUND".
Would definitely benefit from geared pegs;
pressure from the friction pegs is stressing the peg-head facing.
Presumably Original Hard case in salvageable condition.
