At least the sticker, unlike the Aeolian "American Craftsman" classic probably wasn't falling off, which should be good for something. Be brave, and try to CYA with disclaimers as you attempt to install the impression of a playable instrument in it, and in it's owner. There aren't any real rules here. It is, after all, incomparable.
