Just noticed this ad for a 1917 Gibson Alrite that looks like it's in good shape. Owner doesn't seem particularly knowledgeable, since he/she thinks it was made for WWII soldiers, but the starting bid price is roughly half of what I've seen some of these go for. No stake, not in the market myself, but sure is an interesting part of mandoln history!
