D.C. - I sure admire that Silver Eagle. I know Ken didn't make a lot of them with the extra 'center' hole, but they sure are unique! All beautiful mandolins. Was the A one Ken made, or was that a Laura model? :)

Beautiful! I am not familiar with these. Besides the instruments themselves, I enjoy the images on the backs. Are these individual paintings or some type of decal? Very lovely....

They are hand painted works of art by the builder Ken Ratcliff.

Mark, I'm sure it was "Post-Laura", dated Oct 09...Not sure when she stopped making...

Laura Ratcliff stopped making Ratcliffs in February or March of 2008. (Stopped on mine, and Ken finished it.)
