    Default We found this at work today...

    I work at Music Folk in St. Louis. A coworker was going thru old files and storage and found this today. An original 1919 bill of sale for a Gibson A2, sold for $45!!! Cool!

    Nice find, the document 3rd line refers to "50208 and case", the number logically is the FON. Currently at the Mandolin Archive site their is a sheraton brown 1919 A2 FON 50209 in good condition. I wonder if that 1919 A2 FON 50208 bought by Ages is still out there somewhere making sweet sounds.
