A few things:
Firstly, ignore the price.
Secondly, I'm in no way responsible for the damage done to it by whatever moron-once-upon-a-time did to make it "playable". It came to me pretty much in the condition you see it. To describe it briefly, it's an antique - guess mid-Victorian Harp. It's got some lovely painting on it, it's old, it's also kinda junky and probably not in any way repairable, more - with a bit (or a lot) of work - a junktique.
Thirdly, I appreciate it's decrepit, I've had it for 20 odd years and would like it to go to someone who'd appreciate it - (Not a dealer, be warned, and I know you all so just try and pick it up and see what happens...), so disregard the price. Instead, bring me something curious of equal value - not to exceed 2 inches by 2 inches by 1 inch deep. In other words, something small, I'm downsizing. Don't tell me, or hint at it's provenance, I trust you implicitly, simply drop me a line and wrap it up and we'll do the swap. I like surprises.
