ufacturers of Cases and Satchels for Musical Instruments, 
Brass, String and Reed, Web and Leather Drum SUngs and 
Belts, Canvas Cases for Guitar, Banjo and Mandoline, Sam- 
ple Cases and Leather Novelties, 108 to 114 N. J. Railroad 
Avenue, Corner Green Street, Newark, N. J. In present- 
ing their new patent professional sole leather violin case to 
the trade, Messrs. Maulbetsch & Whittemore do so with the 
assurance that it will fill a long needed want, viz.: A case 
constructed entirely of leather, handsome in design, light 
in weight, strong and durable, and perfectly water and 
dust proof. As will be seen by the above cut, the case 
opens on the end and is accessible without placing either on 
the lap, table or chair. As it stands upright it is specially 
convenient in traveling, or when strings or rosin are needed. 
It can also be carried on the arm, or in the usual manner. 
On the inside of the case, at the bridge, is placed a steel 
band, which makes it a perfect protection for the instru- 
ment. Two strajjs encircle the case, which are both orna- 
mental and useful, as many things can be carried by their 
use. These cases will lit any model violin snugly, and are 
lined with a heavy flannel plush. They are .made in colors 
of black, russet, orange and maroon, and are for sale to the 
trade by the manufacturers and jobbers. The leather in- 
dustry in the city of Newark is one of its chief and repre- 
sentative enterprises, as everybody knows, and the many 
varied uses to which leather inaj' be put is as well known. 
Take, for instance, the establishment conducted by Messrs. 
Maulbetsch & AVhittemore; it is of the most interesting na- 
ture, for is there anytliing manufactured from leather any 
prettier than musical cases' We doubt it, for some of 
the finest pieces of leather work are in this line of goods, 
and the highest degree of skill and workmanlike execution 
are put into them. To the musical world these goods are of 
especial interest, and no good musician now-a-days can 
dispense with a proper case or satchel for his or her favor- 
ite instruments, for such cases are actually necessary for 
their preservation. Musical instruments, and especially 
string instruments, are very susceptible to the changes in 
weather, and should be kept, when not in use, in proper re- 
ceptacles. Leather and canvas cases fill the bill, and are 
conceded to be superior to anything made in this line. The 
trade need no introduction to the house of Maulbetsch & 
Whittemore, for the standing of the establishment for 
the superiority of their goods is well known upon the market. It is not out of place, however, 
m a work of this kind, to call the attention of 
the public to the assortment of musical cases 
and satchels which this firm manufacture and 
carry, and all who need such goods would 
do well to pay the sample room of 
Messrs. Maulbetsch & Whittemore a visit 
of inspection before giving their orders. 
Catalogues are sent upon application, and 
the trade will tind that the prices on these 
goods are ver.v reasonably quoted. The es- 
tablishment was inaugurated by the present 
proprietors" in 18.S6. Mr. John Maulbetsch is a native of Ger- 
many, and Mr. Geo. D. ^^'hittemore • of Newark, N. J. 
Twelve assistants are given employment, and the prem- 
ises are 3,500 square feet in area.They also copyrighted a bow holding clip.

I did some  work on this violin. Mostly touch up, set up was required.    USE:  Collector or User pro do a search on the web for Wilhelm Duerer and you will see this is a very good price for this quality!    REPAIR, ----- I setup and repair violins for over  10  year's now and personally enjoy redoing the really old VIOLIN's & shaping & adjusting feet on new bridges & installing NEW Chinese "German Silver Coated strings", to get maximum wonderful tonal sound quality.  A complete setup   was done by myself to this violin.
