Hi Folks!
New to the forum and this is my first post. I was able to acquire this vintage late 50's, early 60's (??) Stella Mandolin, extremely clean and well preserved. I would like to refurbish it, new strings, cleaning, etc... any cleaning tips are appreciated. I own two other mandolins, so this is more of a novelty for me, but I will take it off the wall and play it.
My question is this. I found a few of these for sale (Reverb etc..) and it appears there were washers of some sort on the front of the headstock in some photos, but not others. Do they belong on this mandolin or not?
Any info you can provide on this model is appreciated
I know it is a "tea burst" style and was bought new in 1963 for $25
Serial number: 1590?331 ( I can't tell if there is a number, letter or a blank in the center)
Thanks,
Miss Cole
