    Default Gibson-made Capital JM-2 mandolin on eBay

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/380412989234...84.m1423.l2649

    Pretty rare mandolin. Haven't seen too many of these pop up on eBay. Gibson made the Capital brand for J.W. Jenkins music in Kansas City, MO only from 1937-38. There was the JM-2 with the round sound hole and the model JM-4 with f-holes.

    Cool. This Capital looks a lot like a KM11 from that period. It's hard to see the headstock profile in the ebay photo.

    The JM-2 was essentially a re-labeled Cromwell mandolin which was pretty much the same as the Kalamazoos.
