    Description

    For sale is a chrome plated brass tattoo machine frame I purchased from Shanghai Kate Hellenbrand made by Bill Jonesy in the 1930s. I have had it mounted and protected in a shadow box in my shop for almost 10 years. Provenance comes with this purchase, which is a letter from Kate Hillenbrand contesting to the authenticity and a receipt for payment to Kate Hillenbrand certifying it as “an authentic pre-WWII plated (brass) Tattoo machine frame generated by Bill Jones (aka Jonesy) ... it’s authenticity has been verified by: Bowery Stan Moskowitz (who apprenticed with Jones), Tennessee Dave and Rick Walters. And by Kate Hillenbrand. thank you and enjoy this unique piece of history...”
