I wasn’t a bidder, but I was curious about this mandolin that just sold on the Goodwill site. It looks a lot like a ‘40s or ‘50s Harmony/Kay/Regal, particularly like the Stella’s, but the back of the headstock isn’t something I’ve ever seen on a production mandolin: https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/74864071
Anyone recognize this? I can’t tell if the angle of the photos make everything look a little off, or if it’s maybe homemade. Just curious. The F style tuners might be replacements, or if it’s homemade they might be the “original!”
