Found this old tone bar

Post by John Billings »

In my closet. No idea when or where I got it. Maybe with the Orpheum steel. Nothing on the box except 51-S172. Tried it on dobro, and lap steel. It's great!
Anybody seen one before? The ends are not sharp, but very, very slightly rounded off. So no problems catching strings. 3/4" diameter. 3" long. And it's heavy!

" I'll go to my room and take my meds. Embarrassed"

Just took mine! I may still make comments, but they'll become dumber and more abstruse as the night goes on!
