Finally a replacement for my Cal 561. Without date this time, but I agree with most folks on here it ruins the beautiful Pie-Pan Symmetry... This particular model is a Cal. 551 from 1960. It's the brother to J.inson's dog legg-ed version recently sold by Norman. Which i'm sure will be posted later on today.. Just a few pics of it to whet the appetite.. Hardly looks like the medallion has been touched, i'm glad to see a few scratches here and there as i'd be worried otherwise!! This one will definately be worn on special occasions, and is a jewel in the collection. I just need to work on my photography skills now! as always!
As Dablitzer mentioned, I was very fortunate to acquire this beautiful Constellation 551. I'm sure some of you will recognize it from one of our esteemed members. Really enjoying the journey with all of you!
Very nice example. Happen to be wearing my cal. 551 while recovering from oral surgery. Ouch! Enjoy, gatorcpa
Hope all is OK??? Was watching US idol (we get it here a day or so after you) and they had an african american who had had his tonsils out, and the surgeon knicked a nerve, so he ended up with a permanant speech impediment! Nevertheless, he was an amazing singer.
