On the back of the headstock there is a label that reads “Keystone State High Grade, Made By H.A. Weymann & Son, Makers of the Weymann Highest Grade”.
The bowl-back body is beautiful featuring a spruce top and a 13-stave bowl-back with alternating staves of birds-eye maple and mahogany. The bottom of the bowl on the backside is made of birds-eye maple. The tailpiece/string holder/bridge, tuners and bridge are all original.
