Re: [Harp-L] Hohner Comet Tremolo

[David Payne <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can you get some pictures up someplace? that would help me. I can't remember seeing a comet with a wood comb. I think, I THINK, so nobody bust my chops on this, that the comet came out in the 1950s with a plastic comb... about the same time as the Golden Melody. 
All said, it's much harder to sell a prewar tremolo than a 10-hole. I think you'd have a hard time getting $72 out of it, unless there is something going on with it I don't know.

I'm totally at a loss here, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

My boss has an old (possibly pre-war; at least 60 years old according to him) 
Hohner Comet tremolo. He asked me to see if there is any additional value 
(above and beyond the current MAP of $72.00 from Coast-to-Coast Music)
because of its age.  It is in excellent condition. He got it from his mother, 
who never played it.

I'm not an eBay aficionado, so I didn't look there.

Also, is there any way to accurately date one of those harps?

Thanks,
Crazy Bob
