The things one can find digging thru stuff....

I work at Music Folk in St. Louis. A coworker was going thru old files and storage and found this today. An original 1919 bill of sale for a Gibson A2, sold for $45!!! Cool!

Wonder who bought it and would he be interested in doubleing his money.

We don't have a mandolin in stock to match it. So if we had it, it's long gone. It's possible that it was just paperwork too.

Kool!!!! Hopefully toomario I can get a pic of my Boat Paddle Mandolin my wife bought for me from your store. This is it’s 3rd trip to Florida with us on vacation. We are on the gulf side on St. George Island this year.

This pic was taken in St. Augustine December 2016

Is the serial number on the bill of sale? You could look it up in the archives.

Yes. She's been sitting up there for eight months now. Won't come down for anything.

Maybe it would be interesting for the archive to post the bill of sale, even if we don't have the mandolin itself.

Love seeing stuff like that. Really adds to the instrument IMO.
