TRAFFIC IN "FAKE" WOLINS
Common Trick of Forgery by Which
Collectors Are Swindled Out
of Large Sums.

The odd violin" mania continues,
but with greatly diminished fury
Anyone who has had experience in
curios." says a writer in London Opin-
ion, will tell you that violns with the
correct label are among the COM
monest forgeries." He then gives
some recent figures on violins made
by famous masters. The property of
Mr.. o. Won Booth of Johannesburg, a
Stradivarius violin, was offered by
auction at Puttick G Simpsons recent
ly. The reserve price was G2,000 the
bidding ran up to G1,500. when it
was withdrawn. If you compare the
prices paid for the work of other max
ers you will begin to realize what a
gulf separates them from Amate,
Guarneri, Stradivari and Maggini The
highest price at this sale was e200 for
violin by Guadagnini, whilst two by
Gagliano sold for e170 and 910O.
He adds that he does not believe
, that the collecting of old violins pays
as well as some other forms of collect
ing, and that while many "old" violins
are offered. cursory glance is usual
ly enough to determine their modern
character or that they are not the
work of approved old masters.

He had told the maid not to come for
a couple of weeks, and the little house,
which he had leased for their home
and occupied during the last month,
was empty.
