Juzek NY ?

[Ken Smith]

There is no such thing as a 100 year old Juzek, sorry. These are Czech/German Shop Basses made after 1920 and only a small amount around made in the first 20 years in comparison to after wwII.

A restoration will be more than the Bass might be worth. If I were selling a Bass and this was your trade-in, I would think twice carefully about taking it even for free.

Walk away and find something else. There are 100s of Basses for sale that are in better condition and with better repairs. Keep looking, you will find something. Be patient.

Thanks - that's the kind of perspective I was looking for. (Don't pass this up vs. walk away...)

Also, to clarify I used the term "100 year old" loosely - to me early 20th Century is close enough to 100 years ago to refer to it that way. I understand the distinction, though...

Thanks again.

How do you know it's early 20th century and not mid 20th century? If you can show some decent pics of the back and under the neck button in the back as well as the scroll/gears. I might be able to come close on the period. The Top only helps varnish wise and the ribs would be good to look at as well.
