Thanks for the info. Could you possibly estimate a date it was made and a rough figure of what I should insure the bass for?

Maybe 1930 or so but you should go to a shop where you are and get a written appraisal. I sold a bass not so different than that valued at $7k that needed some work of which I deducted from the sale price. Prices can vary there from here and depending on the sound and overall condition.

Ken, you are a fountain of knowledge.
Thank you.

I gave the bass a clean and took some half decent pictures.

also the original measurements were wrong...

they are

Upper Bout - 20"
Lower Bout - 26"
Rib Depth - 8.4"
String Length - 42"
