Galveston Green F Mandolin?

[WHITEBIRD]

I recently saw a picture of a Galveston olive green F style mandolin. In a Q and A from Folk of the Wood, they say Galveston is a "mass produced department store instrument" and readily available. Can anyone tell me where to find / buy one of these? I am primarily interested it it due to the unique color, and am looking for a mandolin I can take camping and other places I wouldn't dare take my other mando. Would also make a good converstaion piece. I am also under the impression that these are relatively inexpensive? I searched the web and was not able to turn up much. Again, not looking for exceptional sound, (I believe these are laminate), and I can do the set up and make it playable. (Or maybe they are better than I have heard?) Any info on tracking one of these down would be appreciated.

I saw one there as well. Is there anywhere else to buy one?
