I recently acquired an 8 string electric mandolin and I believe it's a Marvel brand? There are no markings other than what looked like a sticker/stamp at one time that says Marvel. It's electric and missing the pickup. Help identifying?

Are you in the UK? There seems to be some older mandolin family instruments by a British maker. Not sure if this is the same maker.

If it's like this one, it's 1970s, Japan or Korea. Without the pickup it's worth a Happy Meal.

It looks like and electrified version of the standard 1980s Korean cheapies.
