Re: A.C. Fairbanks &Co. bowlback
Victoria, I had a Fairbanks mandolin a few years back that I really enjoyed. I sold it to a guy in Switzerland, for what reason I don't know, other than I thought it was a cool idea at the time for it to be over there. The proto-Vega quality on these appears to have been pretty high across the board.
Work it on out to get some pictures up. Here are some (old) pictures of mine. A bit more modest than Jim's. But dig that neck/bowl joint!
