To: - From: William DeRoa Subject: Re: Wm DeRosa The amount is 185 k . Apparently several years ago Bein and Fuschi , the eminent firm in Chicago appraised the instrument then at a 180 k when they wrote the certification on cello some decade ago . The owner of the cello is Mary Horoshevsky the instrument belonged to her late husband , IGOR. Eric Benning of Benning violins is handling the sale for her. If Jeffrey would like to call me I will fill him in on history of this beautiful instrument Thanks EFTA_R1_00522465 EFTA02018484
