Default Re: Hi! Musical instrument engraver here

Years ago I did some engraving on musical instruments I used mostly flat gravers and liners. the work I did had to be the right price range because I got my work from dealers and it was always was how much will you charge and the competion was tough there were many engravers at that time and we just almost worked for very little. but every little bit helped in those days
I'm going back to times around the late 1938. , at that time we use to get believe this three cents a letter. ocourse they say bread was only 25 cents at that time. all that is gone now I 'm been retired a good many years now but as an engraver I'm still interested in the trade. I'll be 90 years not to long from now so you will know where i'm coming from. thank you for your display on engraving sincerly John D.
