    Default Thornward Bowlback

    Appears to be in good order. Montgomery Ward's flagship brand at the time- blingtastic. Looks like 36 ribs and may be similar to a Washburn model, or maybe Bauer-others can name the maker definitively!

    My concern is the strings that the guitar guy put on the mandolin - bet he didn't put on ultralight strings!
