Can anybody identify this Cammeyer Zither, I have been told that as the rim and back are hollow it is a Vibrante? the address on the neck did not show up on the normal search for Cammeyer. It is signed Alfred D Cammeyer on the heel plate I assume it is one made whilst Cammeyer ran the company?

Hi Neil, MBF-lag....yes Jody is correct this is not a Patent but a Colonial. I've handled a couple in the past - there were designed to be robust enough for "Empire" not quite as "solid" as the Riley and Baker maybe. Richard had a wonderful story of Camm and Oakley touring the Middle East with a pair of these z-bs.
