===================================================================
The former owner  has engraved  his name  "J.W.FRECH"  on the ends.

This model  is made of  mahogany  with scales on  celluloid veneer.
Impressive  are the details:  Look e.g.  the  TOP-SIDE  of the SR !
It came without case  and detoriated  CELLULOID CURSOR-BLOCKS ...

  

                      ... Had to be replaced by home-made PVC ones.

Same "CELLULOID DISEASE"  happened also to the  DIETZGEN 1732 ...
*******************************************************************
Celluloid, first produced in 1872, was the first used plastic world
wide.  It consists of a  mix of  cellulose nitrate  & camphor.  The
plasticizer camphor  is given off over time  and the nitrate breaks
up  under  the influence  of oxygen  & moisture  and transforms  to
nitric acid.  Both effects  destroy the material - and  the acid is
the reason why the metal of frame and spring get brittle & rusty.
