Will someone please tell me about this mandolin? I got it the other day and don't know anything about it. It has no name, symbol, or label of any kind anywhere. Thanks for the help.

It is an American Bowlback. I get this from the Tail-piece, which is a Waverley "Cloud" unit.

That's not a Waverly Cloud Tailpiece. It's American made though. The headstock shape might indentify the builder if Jim Garber or someon else has a catalog page. Beyond that it appears to be one of the many thousands of American made bowlback mandolins that were made for the trade (with no label) around 1900 or a little there after. The trim is common, as is the tailpiece.

Looks like a Stella from the headstock. Here is a similar one with similar pickguard. here also is the OP's mandolin from the flikr site.

That Stella shape is rather distinctive. Didn't one pop up in another ID thread just a week ago?

Nothing to contribute but a couple images to comp the common tailpieces: 'cloud' and 'clamshell'. This one looks like the clamshell.
