[Mark E. Chachich]

Was the owner a Conn Man?

Always remember the wise words of Conn-fucius....

Appears to be an untouched original & not a modified Conn*E*cti*Cut version, but an all original EEb. And I’m not Ly.on and don’t call me Healy, but let’s not Harp on that. Con-n.ot determine if it was ever owned by Conn*ie, but I hear Chicago was her kind of town - where she once saw the surprise of her life - a man dancing with his own wife. But then again it’s a toddling kind of town - Chicago is. Conn u believe it or not.

Of course, Conn had to have an Artist line of products. I'm always amused every time I hear a reference to a Conn Artist instrument.

The "P17126" serial number would put it at 1920, according to the Loyalist.
