Antique Gibson EH, National Dobro, Oahu Tube Amplifier Leather Handle .

First Gibson EH handle off a production fixture..

 

It`s going down under to a customer in Australia..Sixty two stitches from end to end. It measures 6-1/2" or 165.11 mm between the mounting holes. The clamps across measure 1-5/8" or 41.3mm between mounting holes. The 1930`s Gibson Eh tube type amp was in production for about ten years. I`m estimating 10,000 amps were produced. Please correct me if i`m wrong. I actually don`t have a clue as to how many were produced...
