<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lew Fisher, post: 4432111, member: 348&quot;]I found 2 old fifes yesterday and am full of questions. Anybody know the subject? I did some on-line sleuthing and learned a little. Both are wood. The black one, just under 17&quot;, is marked Crosby but was apparently made by George Cloos. I did find some information but not enough to date it or get a sense of its desirability if any. The lighter-colored (box?)wood one, about 15-1/4&quot;, appears to be older and perhaps better made. The impressed marks are faint but say Pearson, 3 and London. There is another word there above London but it is worn and illegible to me. If anyone has any thoughts about these I&#039;d love to hear them. I&#039;m especially curious about the age of the Pearson one. Thanks in advance.&nbsp;&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]379703[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]379704[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]379705[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]379706[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]379707[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]379708[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
