Mando identification

[Strawberrygirl583]

Hello everyone. I recently received an old mandolin and am looking for any information on it that I can find. Maker, year and value?

[William Smith]

Well it would help with way more info! Pix, Name, Label, #'s etc...

[allenhopkins]

No way anyone can help you without pictures, and any names that are on it: label inside, logo on the headstock, etc.

Some "old mandolins" are worthless, some are worth perhaps $200 thousand. That's a wide range...

[Rich Benson]

You guys need pictures? I thought you were good!

[Strawberrygirl583]

Im trying to post pics but not finding the option to.. any help? Could my issue be because im posting from a table?

[William Smith]

Right above this with all the icons, 3rd from the right, then post your pix. I think that's how ya do it, that would help with the ID of your goods!

Clearly it's a Regal.

Clearly it's a Regal.

Nah, it's a Shmergel Annihilator, the ultra-rare predecessor to the Devastator, with the built-in cloaking device.

You just wish it was...

Could be a black top A-2Z.

I wouldn't rule out a Larson Bros connection just yet.

[rowka]

The Emperor's new mando?

Good work, guys. I doubt that Strawberrygirl will ever again come here looking for help.

I was concerned about that too but bluegrasser88 immediately replied to strawberrygirl's request for help loading pics yesterday.

Let's hope strawberrygirl can laugh at herself (I'm assuming HERself, if I'm wrong I'm sorry I don't mean to offend.).

Guys, it's the only Stradivarius in existence, clearly.

Strawbiberryus?

[William Smith]

Boy! You guys gotta give this gal a break man! She don't know, we all were a bit novice from the start! I hope she takes all whats said as a grain of a salt and posts some info, she may have something special!

[Jim Garber]

Very often new people forget they posted or can’t find the thread or even the site. I would not blame the banter. Many times people post questions and then disappear.

Actually, There is a Stradivarius mandolin at the instrument museum in Vermillion, South Dakota. I think it is one of two known instruments.

[AndyV]

rcc56 and bluegrasser78, Have either of you PM'd strawberry offering help with posting pics, or to at least reassure that the kibbutzing is not meant to offend?

Thanks

[MikeEdgerton]

She's been PM'd. No answer.

[Jim Garber]

She may very well have forgotten that she posted anything here and, if so, probably doesn't have a clue how to get to PM either. Don't lose too much sleep over it. She wil come back or she won't.
