1897 Cole, Wm. Eclipse Model 4000

Rare Cole's Eclipse with spectacular engraved mother-of-pearl inlays [possibly by Consalvi] and carved heel.

The 3rd fret inlay appears to be a replacement. A couple of old repaired heel-cracks.

10 15/16" rim with 26" Scale Length.

Calf-Skin Head. The pot is all-original with the H&N sets apparently re-plated at some time.

A period and possibly original Elite tailpiece.

Original Grover friction pegs with ivoroid buttons.

Straight neck and good action.
