Jews Harp from the mid-1800s ...

[vja4Him]

My dad just sent me his old Jews Harp which belonged to his great-grandfather, from the mid-1800s.

I'm wondering if there might be anyone who could help to identify and facts about this Jews Harp .....

Fascinating instrument and popular when I was a kid. Was renamed JAWS harp over here so as not to offend anyone.

Interesting instrument for sure ... some history and use can be found here in Wikipedia.
