Washburn 3SSB

[Bill Snyder]

I have come across a listing for a Washburn model 3SSB oval hole, A style mandolin and was curious if anyone knows anything about these. What year, what caliber instrument, etc...?
I come up with nothing when I do a Google search on this model number.
This particular mandolin has serial #2965.
Thanks


I suppose that the model # could be wrong. The headstock looks like some of the old Lyon and Healy mandolins so I suspect it was built during the Lyon and Healy days.
