They have this vintage Gibson A model labeled for some reason as 1918 but I would say at least 10 years earlier. I love the look of those early ones with the inlaid "south Jersey" pickguard, the Handel buttons and the wider paddle head. I also like the fretboard inlays on this one. I just wish the photos were better and more of them.
I just bought a 1930s guitar at an amazing price from them.The photos for that were even smaller than the ones for this mandolin. I did have them send me some good clear photos so it worked out well. I would consider this mandolin but don't want to push my luck and the price is more like standard retail or maybe even on the high side if it does have a neck heel repair.
Anyone near there seen and played this mandolin? Marti Stillion, perhaps?
