MANDOLIN

By gajavi4369, 7 January, 2013
Description

Mandolin owned by deceased family member who received it as a gift from her mother in her childhood.

She received it in very early 1900s, so it is well over 100 years old. It is still in its orginal hard case, and in very good condition. It would need a small amount of touch up on the case of the mandolin.

The inside  label indicates its place of purchase; Havana, Cuba. However, it was originally manufactured in Spain.
