Artcraft was a California firm that had a brief life up through the late
1920s in California.  What work of their's still survives is limping along and
rather shoddy, and earned them a colorful nick-name when they were still in
business.
    The price of $100 for one of their consoles seems fair enough, even if
all you end up keeping is the console shell, provided it is attractive, sturdy,
and does its job. You certainly cannot build a console shell and a pedalboard
for $100.
