The two violins which, among violin connoisseurs, are recognized as having no equals anywhere by the same master, are the pair of splendid Carlo Bergonzis, which rank as the very finest known examples of his work. Another favorite is the violin by Joseph Guarnerius del Jesu, a well known and famous instrument, known as the "Mayseder," and for many years the property of Miss Maud Powell, the famous American virtuoso.

Owing to the decease of Mr. Schley, his collection has been placed in our hands for sale. Special Terms Ordinary terms on which Rare Old Violins are sold by us will not prevail in this instance.
