A very cool old mandolin. Thought someone might be looking for one of these.

Whoa -- gigundous top crack, no bridge, much pick wear, extensive finish cracking and peeling. Bid is $62 now, and I wouldn't go much higher. Several hundred buxx worth of restoration needed.

Reverse scrolls are really cool. But this one seems more trouble than it is worth. Even at $62.00

You act like that's something bad... :cool:

Well, for a late '20's Gibson Fern F-5 it wouldn't be bad. For a mandolin that would cost as much to repair as its market value, it's off-putting.

Price is up to $77.

If it was a Gibson A model it would be up to 600.00. :cool:

Probably aren't too many Gibson mandolins make it to the Goodwill Auction.
