Kentucky Mandolin-Can't read the model number inside instrument

[Fiddling]

Here's the best photo I could get! What do you think?

Maybe somebody can ID from the specs.

There are no specs, and it reads to me as the 150 model, so I don’t know why it’s accumulating so many bids. Others must think it’s further up the list for some reason. In any case, SGW is a crapshoot at all times as the photos are insufficient to guess at basic condition, other than shiny. Often they don’t even photograph the label. You really can’t compare retail or guaranteed condition prices with donated goods, just be prepared to sometimes get one that needs work or just sounds bad. And, of course, sometimes to get a bargain.

I don't know, when I look at it and I see it's an A model, that it has tuners made by a known manufacturer, a tailpiece, fretmarkers. If someone knows the specs of a Kentucky most likely early KM-150 then they are identifying it from the specs and not from the label but I could be wrong.
