Found this just now - seems to have been a company that went through various iterations.

Could be that Snr. Peter Fiore may know something about them because of the Sicilian connection. Perhaps I should have hung on to it, at least until the Internet came along!

Snr. Rob

Non so da cosa parli...ma vorrei averlo fatto.

I'm talking about guitars, especially Silvestri guitars made in Catania, Sicily.

I had a black one in '48 when I was kid living in northern Italy; I sold it when I was no longer a kid because never mind play it, I couldn't even tune the mother.

Dave Telecaster has a buddy who collects guitars; I was trying to find out something about the company but it seems they changed name a few times and may or may not now be collectible, despite having been cheapos (not why I couldn't play it!); they apparently also made jazz guitars, whatever they are. Back to dreaded genres - you see? even the guitar Internet needs them!

I just wondered if you or your Dad might have known something about the company...

Rob,

My Dad was the youngest of four boys and the only one of his brothers born in Sicily. A long story about that. He and his family arrived in the United States for keeps in 1922. I wish I could ask him....so it goes.

Tame! There are raccoons in the park where I often take long walks (and photos), but they keep well clear of humans. The sandhill cranes, OTOH, would probably eat out of my hand were I to offer 'em something tasty.

Florida raccoons are something, they know no shame and would steal anything. For the records I was not offering them anything, but they got so close out of habit I guess. Doubt the cell with which I took the last photo looked that appealing.

Which park? The cranes I've seen in the SW Michigan keep the distance, quite excessively I would say.

Kensington Metropark northeast of Ann Arbor in SE Michigan. One of a string of parks & "recreation areas" adjacent to each other. The sandhills have become acclimated to humans over the past decade or so, to the point that nature trails near their favorite breeding/nesting areas now feature Please Don't Feed The Cranes signs.
