Thanks for all your help in identifying this mandolin. My friend has decided to get it restored.

Yep, it sure looks like the same mandolin. Any idea who could have been manufacturing them? Also, did you find the ad on the internet somewhere or do you just have a fantastic archive?

Thanks, Mando. I'll let you know if anything comes of this and it gets restored. Was this mandolin sold through Sears and Robuck?

Thanks,
Michael

Thanks for the info, Jim! In your opinion are they worth restoring?

Thanks,
Michael

One more!

More photos.

Ok, lets try this one more time. Hopefully the photo will be attached.

Here are some photos of my friends Columbia. It is a flatback and is not as nice a model as the one shown by you, jgarber, but I'm wondering if it's worth getting restored. How do these Columbia...

Thank you for your post. I'm in the process of getting some photos now.

A friend of mine has a Columbia mandolin that belonged to his grandfather and I'm pretty sure its over a hundred years old. Does anyone know anything about these? Can they still be played? Any info...
