<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 305612, member: 84&quot;]I found this at a local thrift store. It took me a while but I finally found out it is a Appalachian/mountain Dulcimer!? It looks like a guitar made out of gummy bears was stretched to it&#039;s limit!</p><p><br /></p><p>I found out what it really was because written in pencil inside the body was &quot;Made by Roscoe C Horton&nbsp; 7 - 79&nbsp; #163 - 2 -5&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Googling Roscoe Horton showed he was a famous Dulcimer maker &amp; his pieces seem to be rare &amp; collectible. But I can&#039;t find an example of one being sold or having been sold! I found mention of one being sold on youtube, but it only showed one being played.</p><p>Are Dulcimers made by Roscoe (I like that name!) rare or valuable? My 1979 #163 seems pretty early - is that good or bad with this thing?</p><p><br /></p><p>And any idea what the - 2 - 5 after #163 could stand for?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks as always for any help!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/21N6SRv" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://flic.kr/p/21N6SRv" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4520/38590397991_3d530d5a49_z.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />AA EBAY NEW A COLLECTIBLE EBAY MUSIC DULCIMER 1AA</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/9175577@N07/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/9175577@N07/" rel="nofollow">miamibeachcg</a>, on Flickr</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/DEeBr9" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://flic.kr/p/DEeBr9" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4573/24717882918_9d502c40be_z.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />AA EBAY NEW A COLLECTIBLE EBAY MUSIC DULCIMER 2AA</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/9175577@N07/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/9175577@N07/" rel="nofollow">miamibeachcg</a>, on Flickr</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/21H43Nq" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://flic.kr/p/21H43Nq" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4542/38533263636_b533ec0009_z.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />AA EBAY NEW A COLLECTIBLE EBAY MUSIC DULCIMER 3AA</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/9175577@N07/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/9175577@N07/" rel="nofollow">miamibeachcg</a>, on Flickr</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/DEeAKQ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://flic.kr/p/DEeAKQ" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4549/24717880638_885bbd6eb5_z.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />AA EBAY NEW A COLLECTIBLE EBAY MUSIC DULCIMER 6AAB</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/9175577@N07/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/9175577@N07/" rel="nofollow">miamibeachcg</a>, on Flickr[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
