I happened to set my 1920 Gibson F-2 and MB-2 next to each other a while ago and thought they made a nice couple. Notice the buckle rash on the back -- maybe they had the same first owner. :)

(the MB might actually be an MB-3 I've gone back and forth on that over the years).

The MB now has an ebony bridge that I carved based on pics I have seen as I think these came with mandolin style bridge not a banjo type.

Nice Bernie! Have you done any research on the serial numbers to see how far apart they were made in 1920? (can you do that?)
