Looks like a late 20's or early 30's A1. The logo,headstock shape, truss rod, pick-guard bracket, and bridge put it post 1922. Is the back carved?. Cool marble to the guard too. My guess at auction $1000.00-$1500.00, but ya never know http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I'd guess 30s A0/A1, and probably say $1500 is the fair value.
