Pook Mandoline

[John Sawatzky]

I have a friend that owns this Mandoline. #The label inside reads: #
THE POOK MANDOLINE #
Reg Nov 20, 1908 or 1908 (the year is not very clear)Winnipeg Canada 709 Manitoba Ave.

Would anyone have any information on this fine instrument? Or does anyone know who I could contact to get more info?

Email me at: #johnsaw@shaw.ca

Thanks,
John

Wow! It's like a mando-harp guitar. Very groovy.

A fine and unusual looking instrument.

But might I suggest you post this thread on the 'Information about mandolins' and 'Post a picture of your mandolin' forums (fora?)? You are more likely to get the sort of response you are looking for there.

Good Luck,

Dave.
