It seems that the "Mickey Mouse" Gibsons were not limited to the 70's. Here is a newly discovered Loar that clearly gives new meaning to Mickey Mouse ears!

Ah, yes, the joys of photoshop. I like the double-tiered fretboard.

If the FB extension is "Florida", that would make the piece to the north the "Outter Bands".
Good for ... quarter tones?

Busted! With all the talk of double pointed or horned mandolins, why not a double scroll?

Here is a Shutt (unretouched) double-scroll guitar from teens.

Jim,
That is a cool design. The position of the f-holes is curious.

The position is a little more extreme than the Strad-O-Lin
That Shutt is a guitar, for one. Also it predates Gibson f-hole instruments by at least 8 years.
