An artist-quality violin bow from 1919-1939 , 8va. stick. 62 grams.Most violinists already are aware of how Hill bows are produced.....The ordinary wood is ebony silver mounted or half-mounted, stamped "H & S".The next quality gets sterling silver mounts, stamped "Hill" on the stick.The almost-best wood gets sterling mounts, stamped "W.E.Hill & Sons" on the stick.Tortoise-shell and ivory mounts, with Fleur de Lys inlay were the best of the offerings, no longer in production, of course.I bought this bow forty years ago, have never sold it. Do believe it's the favorite of my small collection.Arthur J. Barnes (1888 - 1945) was with Hills between 1919 and 1939.Lots of internet info on Hill violin bows, of course. I've owned several dozen, have made a point only to acquire those with the "W.E. Hill & Sons" stamp, those being considered "top of the line".Minimal finger-wear, all original, a superb item for the discriminating musician or collector.No stick damage, fine player for the strong violinist. 62 grams plus just a hair.
