Julius Lothen Fiddle

[Gutbucket]

Has any one heard of Julius Lothen? I just purchased a fiddle made by him dated 1971. It was built in Minneapolis Mn.
The seller also stated he lived in Carlton and Pequot Lakes Mn. If any one has heard of Julius Lothen, or has ever seen his fiddles, let me know. This fiddle is well made, very plain wood, but a nice loud, darker end tone.
