Kalamazoo by Gibson steel string acoustic guitar Kalamazoo by Gibson steel string acoustic guitar circa 1932, 19 fret rosewood fingerboard, sunburst finish top with tortoiseshell effect pickguard, the headstock with Kalamazoo logo, the inside of with 'Made in the U.S.A. by Gibson Inc Kalamazoo Mich', serial number 3094 to the reverse of the headstock, order number 192C to the neck block, together with hard case.63.5cm scale length.The guitar is in fair general condition. The finish is fairly consistently checked all over the instrument, this varnish checking is heavier on the neck and soundboard. The guitar has lots of dents, scratches, and chips throughout. The back has two fine splits to the top laminate of the ply back, the splits do not show through to the inside of the guitar and the body remains stable. These faults can be seen in photo 10/15 online and are in the upper part of the image where the light is casting across the back. The soundboard of the guitar is swelling around the bridge area mainly behind the bridge from the effects of string tension. There has been a strap button fitted to the heel of the neck but this has now been removed leaving a vacant hole. The tuners are a replacement and the nut is also probably a replacement. The slot for the bridge saddle has probably been lowered to help aid the action due to the swelling of the soundboard. The frets show signs of wear and have been flatted to increase playability.

Harding and W. H. Toms, 1733 [but circa 1740]Provenance:Probably purchased by a Scottish merchant in the 1740s;Thence by descent to the present ownerLiterature:Babinski, Henry Popple's 1733 Map, 20-sheet map state 7⁂ One of most important large scale English maps of North America published in the 18th Century.Henry Popple's Map of the British Empire in America was originally intended as a means of refereeing the competing claims of the English, French and Spanish colonists and delineating their respective territories on North American soil. Popple lacked any formal training or experience as a mapmaker prior to this, his only known cartographic work. Accordingly, he made use of any available printed and manuscript maps he could get his hands on, consulting a variety of English and French sources; most notably Delisle's Carte de la Louisiane et du Cours du Mississippi, 1718, Guillaume Delisle's Carte du Canada, 1703 and the maps of Herman Moll. The resultant, monumental map - nearly eight feet squared when joined - bears witness to the rapidly growing knowledge of the interior of North America, with copies of Popple's map being sent to the governors of each English colony for official use."A fundamental centerpiece of any serious collection of North American maps" (Babinski, Henry Popple's 1733 Map, 1998, p. 151).
