    Default Info on Gibson H4 mandola

    Can anyone help me with dating a Gibson H4 mandola? I used to use a searchable web database, but I'm not finding it now.

    This instrument has a serial # of 35703.

    Appreciate any info.

    Hello Charlie, that'd be about a 1917. If you can email or post some photos we can tell you more about it!

    That's exactly what I was guessing. Thanks. I can't get photos now, but we'll see what happens. It sold at an auction this morning nearby. I got there 10 minutes after the sale started, but they'd already sold it! The good news is that a friend bought it. Now I'll have to see if I can talk him out of it. Any idea of what they're selling for in decent condition? This one needs lots of repair, but the basics are sound.
