    Re: Tacoma Mandolins

    Thanks for all the input, I'm gonna pass on the Tacoma. My 100 year old Bacon is everything I need. It pretty much stays in the house unless I go to the neighbors to play. It's irreplaceable, was my...

    Re: Old Bacon

    Anybody have an idea from the photos what year this mandolin was built? I don't know if there were any changes year to year. It sounds like it was a short production run, '21-'24.

    Re: Old Bacon

    Thanks everybody for the info. After studying the grain more on the back, it looks more like birch than maple to my eye, which doesn't really jibe with the 1924 catalogue for a Professional Model. ...
