Re: Message from Al Menashe:

Your Seeburg KT case style is very early, and I would say is quite
scarce, bordering on being rare.  It is the style they used before the
eagle glass was my understanding.  We have handled perhaps 20 of the
Seeburg K line (K, KT, KT Special) over the years and have had only one
with this glass.  frankly, I don't recall the wood, but I think it was
oak.

As to Violanos, we have sold three this year, all in the range of
$22-25,000.  Generally in what could be termed very good working
condition or older restoration, but not new full restoration.  These are
extraordinarily popular but are not very scarce.  However one collector
in Chicago bought some 60 of them over the past five years and
tightened things up quite a bit.  We were just lucky this year, usually
we only get perhaps one a year.

Sincerely,

Martin Roenigk
