1930s National electric mandolin made of dobro parts (as indicated by others in a thread here).
I love it! Was my father's and now it is mine. Still not made my tailpiece to replace the broken one and using a modified one now. However, I am honing my tailpiece making skills with cheap acoustic guitar resonator chamber conversions first. :>

damaged a bit as you see, seal torn off.


overall headstock, blurry sadly. shows overlay of what seal could have been there originally.


back of headstock. I have new bolts now to hold it together properly.


end of headstock, reads "N395".

Thanks Rodney. No clips yet, just opened the box this morning.
Here's a mini-review based on my initial impressions, and here are some more pics.
Once it get to know the Ryder better I'll post a clip.

Further to my notes re Headstock pictures (Dec.24th,2011 #748), I have relocated original posters . Old duffer's memory- totally buggered. They were printed by "Pickin'" magazine. I found two of them. One is of headstocks...banjoes, mandolins and guitars, copyright 1974 and labelled "The Artistry Of Pegheads". The other is labelled "The Artistry Of Fingerboards" which is self explanatory.Copyright 1975. I'm not au fait with USA copyright regs, but I could email copies of these posters if anyone over there s able to smooth the way.
