You can ask the seller.

OK, just won an auction for a Style A, listed by the auctioneer as "serial number 10xx? (#328) on rib." Photo of the label doesn't show the written number. We'll see when it gets here, but it...
Now it's time to pick up a few modern quartets. Graham McDonald had one he was trying to sell not long ago. Lawrence Smart has done one. I think maybe Max Girouard too?
I seem to remember Keef's book casting doubt on the fire theory, but regardless of the reason, it's true that there doesn't seem to be much in the way of records.
Perhaps "anomaly" is the wrong...
Yours isn't in consideration. Bob's cello is 10/152 and Joe's cello is 17/199.
I'm looking at a Style A mandolin up for auction that might have a number mismatch, from the auctioneer's incomplete...
You'll notice that I posted in that thread several times. It offers evidence of a second mandocello whose stamped and written numbers don't match.
That's it.
Keef's theory in that thread may...
But on every L&H instrument I've checked, the stamped serial number matches the one on the label. Yours is an anomaly.
Specific serial numbers in the Mandolin Archive were drawn from records like eBay sales, mentions here on the Café, lists kept by vintage instrument dealers, etc. Your mandolin isn't listed because...
Um, no.
It's possible that someone replaced the back and sides. But the original would be solid.
And I'm not sure that's maple; it could be nicely figured birch.
This one has had some...
Acoustic version of the Harmony Batwing. Not as desirable as its electric cousin, but has its own charms.
I need one of these and the price is right, but the seller won't ship.
If you'll buy...
Someone got a pretty good deal.
Was this dated?
Most major universities and many smaller ones had mandolin clubs during the Golden Age of the Mandolin. Gibson did its best to take over that market after the company was...
Which one did you have in mind?
Turns out a mandobass at a bluegrass festival is quite the conversation piece!
Mine made it into the vintage instrument tasting at Wintergrass, and was played to back up a Loar quartet on "Golden...
The one I'm currently selling is SN 47835 and FON 11190.
There are four more in Seattle that I'm sure about: one belongs to Seattle Mandoiin Orchestra and one belongs to one of our members. One...
But ... but ... A7sus/G is the easiest chord to play!
It's standard procedure only for people who lack imagination.
Mandolin pops up from time to time on "worship" recordings that definitely aren't bluegrass, so the excuse they've given you is crap....
The tuners nearest the top of the headstock are the original ones. If they are functional I might make you an offer for one, since there's one tuner on my National Silvo electric tenor that's a bit...
I never post or comment on instruments I actually want!
I did wonder about the color of the binding and bridge pins and such.
At least I think that's what it is; I'm woefully guitar-ignorant!
I swear this was at $8K yesterday but it seems to have dropped down to a little over $4K.
I sold a 1952 000-28 for $6K or so...
That looks pretty cheap and likely isn't worth your while.
A dark Army-Navy in a photo that's a little blurry: perfect!
Blue Comets weren't made by Regal (see above discussion) and in any case arrived on the scene too late to be in this photo.
Is this THE Francesco Turrisi? (Big Rhiannon fan here.)
You might want to look into flatwound strings for a darker tone.
The Beltones weren't made until the 1930s and I've never seen a Beltone with a Gibson pickguard clamp on it. This photo purports to be from 1915.
This is definitely a Gibson. It might be a...
