Flatiron A5 Artist

[John]

I am interested in the above model - serial number 00325010. Does anybody know the date of manufacture and approximate value (street and retail) - assume excellent condition. Thanks very much for the help.

PS. I did a little research and I think it was constructed in 1977 but am not sure.

What a coincidence - I used to own that particular Flatiron mandolin. It was a very good A5, for sure. Serial #00325010 was made in 2000. I sold it to Charles Johnson at MWHQ a couple of years ago. It should be $1500-1700 to buy it now, I would guess.
