Hello all, new to the forum. I inherited my Grandmother's old Bacon mandolin, given to her by my Grandfather. It's a 2 point which I gather is the Artist model. It has the number 351 stamped on the top of the headstock. The label is long gone. I believe it's all original. It probably sat in its case in a closet for 40 or more years and is in absolutely marvelous condition. My local guy cleaned it up, adjusted the bridge and put new strings on it. The intonation and action are great. No cracks anywhere. I'll never be a picker but I love strumming chords on it, the tone is beautiful. Anybody know anything about these, such as the year built or materials used? The grain on the back looks like mahogany but I can't be sure.
