1937 National Duolian
Thought I'd take a few pics while Wellington was enjoying some sun. Had this for 20 years, a little beat up and rusty but plenty of Mojo.

Oh wow, that is a real collector's item. I have a modern copy of one of these, that I'm rather fond of, but you don't see many of these originals. Kudos.

Yeah. Just needs a re-chrome and a palm tree and you'd be away laughing.olegmcnoleg wrote:Oh wow, that is a real collector's item. I have a modern copy of one of these, that I'm rather fond of, but you don't see many of these originals. Kudos.

They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.
