I have acquired an old Kay-Kraft style mandolin with a diamond shaped, Bone tag attached to the headstock which reads in part, "Baumont" with the remnants of the name "Gleason" and "Brooklyn, NY" at bottom left and right. This is a heavy instrument with painted binding of a light mauve color. The instrument appears to be at a minimum from the Early Teens of last century (that much gunk on the surface at least)
Does anyone know anything about this maker?
