Ephemera: Various Hip Orchestras (1920s, 30s, 40s)

Nice bass drum and Lange-made tenor jo! Mid/late '20s.

Brass group wielding a nice archtop guitar, too, aboard the Empress of Britain. '30s.

I'm guessing this was shot in the '40s. Note the excellent tamburitza instruments and then the lone Gibson mandocello in their midst! Sweet.
