... from my Dad's maternal uncles from NYC. He was born in the '20s, but I don't know from what time the mandolin comes. He also had some other instruments from them. I remember fondly him playing all of them at various times in my youth. The "W" scratched into the tailstock cover may indicate that it belonged to Uncle Walter.
Keeps me interested in the mandolin. Very sweet sounding but quiet mandolin. I've seen some similar ones on ebay and would be interested if anyone has any identification info. Thanks.
