Hi guys, I need your help on this one. I'm investigating Jew's Harp patents and I found this patent of a sheet metal Jew's Harp from 1922. The inventor (George Brown Dusinberre) later developed from this harp the Dusie-Harp (patented 1927). Now I'm trying to find proof of its manufacture. The factory that filed the patent is the Glenora Harmonica Company Inc., from Elmira NY. The apparent form is as from a Smith Jew's Harp with an extra arch over its bow. Making it look like a bottle opener. All this of sheet metal. I don't know if I can place a picture here otherwise we'l have to find another solution for that. So I'm looking for folders flyers or maybe (a picture of) the actual instrument. Yours, Harm.
