Thank you. I could identify the year from my Spann Book. I'm not much on identifying old models outside of the F2, F4, F5 Vein. Appreciate your help.

Should you need more or specific shots let me know;)
It appears this Mandolin is named Linda Lou? Wasn't the girl in "I'm Going Back to Old Kentucky" also of the same name?
FON 11975
Serial Number 77888
I just sent her my email. I'll post them. Eugene Oregon.
Sharon. I just texted you my email. Send me the photos and I will post them.

I just texted her and told her to list the FON and the Serial number. She has them. I did but I deleted the text history. Sorry. I also told her that we have described to her how to post pics. It's...
She has that information Mike. The FON is from 1923 and the Serial number is from 1924. She knows where those are located. I just told her to list them. I don't have them as I deleted our texting...

Hi Sharon. Bill Kammerzell here. I was texting with you last night and recommended Mike E. I dont know how you logged on but if you used your phone go to full web version scroll down from your post...

I know I once saw a photo of Bill showing Tony Rice how to play guitar. My guess is that took some real Brass?
I've done some research. However I know this Board to be a real, Mandolin Detective Agency. I am looking at an F Style Mandolin, online, that the seller refers to a Givens "Ode" "The Monroe". From...
