- Description:
- A small collection of materials from the estate of Lansing violin maker Clarence Nolan (C. N.) Bartow. The collection contains a file of 35 photographs and 31 negatives of scenes including a United States Overseas airplane, several vacation photos at different motel swimming pools, an outdoor aquarium, a hunting trip, and several of Barstow in his violin shop, instruments, and other unidentified people with musical instruments. Also in the collection are two rubber stamps, one from the violin shop and another used by Barstow in the 1970s when he served as an Ingham County Notary Public. Correspondence from his travels to family and to Barstow from others, assorted business cards, and blank business forms from the violin shop make up the remainder. Bartow learned to make violins beginning in 1947, with studies in Dearborn (Mich.), Germany, and Italy. His instructor in Dearborn was John Hitter, an Austrian who had come to repair historic instruments for the Henry Ford Museum. He set up his Lansing shop in a second-floor studio in 1951, in the 300 block of South Washington Avenue. He died on August 10, 1984, in Lansing.
