DAMAGED Antique 1886 Bowl-Back Mandolin

As shown. See all photos. Passed down through the family. Last photo suggests it’s from OCT 26.86. As you can see, there is major damage. Instead of me paying to repair and resell, priced to sell as is. Hopefully someone will want! Splits and cracks all over. Couldn’t just dump it. So I bring this antique to you. stunning design on the headstock. Sound chamber contains a label not identifying the manufacturer, but reading: American School of Music Minneapolis, Minn. Makes me think it belonged to my mother’s father’s family, as they came from Minnesota (to Chicago). 24” x 7.6” x 5.75” Perfect for everyday use. excellent materials and excellent craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability.
