Friend of mine body this mando left to him and thinks it is over 100 years old. Anybody have an idea as to its worth? Looks like a wall hanger to me but then I know nothing about mandos.

Sound is nothing special and the soundboard is a little collapsed although action is ok and playable.

Needs a new top, what is the dark wood? Looks like Maple and ???

I could not find any infor for this maker in a quick google search.

I like the look, it would go for about $60.00-$300on ebay.

There are some pretty good bargans for weird string items all the time. Ive missed some nice, yet cheap old guitars, but buyer beware. I thought the mandolin last week was underpriced, went for $60.00
Said it was Braz bowl, but you never know.
