Hi everyone! I picked up Mandolin in December and this site has been a great source for me! I want to thank everyone for sharing their knowledge and passion.

I bought and restored this old Mandolin, I think it's from the 20's or 30'2 but have had a hard time finding the exact year, or even make. There is no visible label on the inside (or outside.) It was sold to me as a Stella, but the person really had no idea.

Can anyone help me identify this? Year? Make? Place of origin?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Try the "Bowlbacks of note" thread in the "Classical, Italian, Medieval, Renaissance" section of the cafe:
