Welcome!

 Hello,

 
We are working on compiling a database of known Instruments made by Chas. B. Rauch and the Dayton String Instrument Company.  Our goal is to analyze the evolution of the company's production. If you have anything you would like to share, please contact me. You will be credited (if desired) on the list. 
 
What we need from you: 
 
Details of the instrument- at a minimum the type of the instrument and serial number.
 
We would also like to know if the label says Chas. B. Rauch or the Dayton String Instrument Company. 
 
Any other details you wish to share would be wonderful! You can either post here or contact us via private message.
 
Thanks very much,
 

Tim and Paul

There is a possible Baritone Guitar floating around out there too.

I believe there is also an archtop guitar floating around the UK or Europe.
