Looking for info on E. A. Bourbeau, violin maker from Omaha.

Wednesday, May 2, 2012

Hi folks,

I'm trying to determine if this label is authentic (we all know that 90% of them are not).

brown ink script;  made in Omaha

                              by  E. A. Bourbeau

                                 in year 1919

The label and ink look correct but I have no reference to this maker in any of my books.

Other than that, my first impression is early 20th century Chech or German student low quality, so I'm very doubtful of the label but it's nice to know if Bourbeau was an actual maker.

thanks,

Jane
