3/4 European Flatback
Bohemian? Between the wars?
I think so.
This came from an estate sale in the East Bay Area in early 2012.  I do not know tha previous owner's name. It had gut strings on it because the fingerboard was thin and warped, but I put on a new ebony board and a set of Thomastics making this one killer voiced bass. Plays like butter, too. Aside from the typical open center seam in the middle of the back (normal/normal/normal) and the regular wear and tear, this bass is in surprisingly good condition. The neck has not been broken, nor the back, and the little cracks at the join between the lower bout sides and the C bout sides are ancient and can be addressed if and when the bass requires disassembly, which is does not at the moment. $5800

Body length - 42.75"  lower bout - 25 1/2"  upper bout- 19 7/8" body depth - 8 1/4" string length - 40 3/8"  bridge height - 6.0"
