This is an old bow, circa 1930 or earlier, with Hill-type fittings. Wear at the grip on the shaft show a lot of use. This is a reasonably good trade quality bow, probably aimed at students. The stick is unstamped.
It is in good condition with good playing propeties.

Condition :
|
| |
Stick and frog in good condition, in spite of obvious use and wear. The tip slide has minor cracks in it and the peak is missing - this poses not structural threat to the tip. It should be a simple task for a violinmaker to replace the tip slide. Recently rehaired.
