The Model says "MANDOLA" SERIAL # 001 has minor nicks and scratches, some Lacquer checking and a rough finish under the Scroll--like they couldn't get under there to sand it before applying the finish. ---Not too bad...
Year is a guess and so is the name---I think it's PGA, but could be PCA or? see pics. It's definitely a professional hand made Brazilian Bandolim. Has a flat back and sort of a bent top. Looks good. I know nothing about...

A handmade classic by one of the old time Appalachian Mountain Men. It has a nice flame back and I believe a Spruce top? Again, we are not Mando experts! The year and serial number are in the upper F-hole and the...
The year is a guess. This is a very cool Gypsy Jazz looking Mandolin. I don't think they are made any longer. An F-5 Style with a wide sound hole--very unique! It appears to be in good condition, but the action is a...

Not only is this one of the rarest of all Loar signed F-5’s, this is a “Lost Loar” that was not even known to exist until we found it, and it’s the only one we have ever seen in “untouched” condition---a true attic find...
For so many years all I ever hear is about pre war Martins... blah blah blah, so anyway, I finally went out to get myself one. Hard to see what all the fuss is about but this is a rather nice little instrument. This...
if this was a guitar it would get sold but this one is a mandolin so some waiting will be involved. This one is still in somewhat remarkable condition, that is why I decided to buy it. Everything is original. There is...

Bacon & Day made possibly the sweetest banjo-mandolins, though using the words "sweet" and "banjo-mandolin" in the same sentence is a great big oxymoron. The B & D, however, can used to make real music. This is about as...
