A silver & tortoiseshell-mounted violin bow by W.E. Hill & Sons

London, circa 1945

round stick, the tortoiseshell frog with silver rings and pearl eyes, the tortoiseshell adjuster with two silver bands
stamped W.E. Hill & Sons on the handle

The stick of this bow was made by Albert Leeson (1903-1946) and must have remained in the Hill shop for a few years before Bill Watson made a frog for it. Once the bow was complete it was stamped with the date 1950 and sold.
