Provenance

Anders Halvarson (1900-1972) emigrated to the United States from Malung, Sweden in 1923. He soon found a position with the Chicago firm of William Lewis & Son, where he elevated his violin and bow making and restoration skills, working with distinguished makers like Carl Becker Senior and Carl Becker Junior. In 1928 he left with Lewis sales associate William Myers to form Meyers-Halvarson Company in Nashville, Michigan, a rural community located between Grand Rapids and Lansing. Most of the high quality raw materials for bow and instrument making were acquired during this early period. The shop’s accessibility to other musical communities such as Kalamazoo, Detroit, and Ann Arbor supported a thriving business serving Michigan musicians for the next eighty years. The shop specialized in new instrument making, with a strong focus on fine reproductions of classical French bows. Mr. Halvarson’s work was recognized in many reference books, including Joseph Roda’s Bows for Musical Instruments.

P. Dameron Midgett is a violinmaker and historian, well known for his research, publications, and presentations on the subject of American Violinmakers, particularly those working in New England. As proprietor of Easthampton Violins for thirty years, he has catalogued and archived the country’s most extensive collection of instruments, tools, and artifacts relating to the history of violin making in the Northeast. He has chronicled the lives of the makers through research and personal relationships with families and descendants, and has presented his work in many venues, including The Smithsonian Institution.

1. Some of the lots in this sale are offered subject to a reserve. The reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the consignor and Skinner, Inc. below which the lot will not be sold. In most cases, the reserve will be set below the estimated range, but in no case will it exceed the estimates listed. A representative of Skinner, Inc. will execute such reserves by bidding for the consignor. In any event and whether or not a lot is subject to a reserve, the auctioneer may reject any bid or raise not commensurate with the value of such lot.

2. All property is sold “as is,” and neither the auctioneer nor any consignor makes any warranties or representation of any kind or nature with respect to the property, and in no event shall they be responsible for the correctness, nor deemed to have made any representation or warranty, of description, genuineness, authorship, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, or condition of the property and no statement made at the sale, or in the bill of sale, or invoice or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty of representation or an assumption of liability.

3. Except as provided in paragraph 1 above, the highest bidder as determined by the auctioneer shall be the purchaser. In the case of a disputed bid, the auctioneer shall have sole discretion in determining the purchaser and may also, at his or her election, withdraw the lot or reoffer the lot for sale.

4. All merchandise purchased must be paid for and removed from the premises the day of the auction.

Skinner, Inc. shall have no liability for any damage or loss to property left on its premises for more than three (3) days from the date of sale. If any property has not been removed within three (3) days from the date of sale, at the option of Skinner, Inc. (a) Skinner Inc., may impose, and the purchaser agrees to pay, a monthly storage charge of 1.5% of the purchase price of any lot or portion of a lot not removed within the three days, and/or (b) Skinner Inc. may place the merchandise in a subsequent auction, without Reserve, to be sold to the highest bidder, and after deducting the standard commission and any additional charges that may apply, remit the proceeds to the purchaser.

Import restrictions from foreign countries are subject to these same governing laws. Granting of licensing for import or export of goods from local authorities is the sole responsibility of the buyer. Denial or delay of licensing will not constitute cancellation or delay in payment for the total purchase price of these lots.

9. All purchases are subject to the Massachusetts 6.25% sales tax unless the purchaser possesses a Massachusetts sales tax exemption number. Exemption numbers from other states are accepted in Massachusetts if presented with a business card or letterhead.
