These don't show up on ebay very often. This is a 1914 F style Mandolin by The Gibson company. Serial number 16850 handwritten on tag inside. Model number F2. 2009 is stamped on the neck block. The instrument is in very original condition. Has original case, original pickguard, beautiful original tuners and original tailpiece. The finish is black on the front with a wood stained mahogany color on the back and sides. The headstock and tailpiece cover both say "The Gibson". Things to note.. t are 2 cracks on the top of the instrument, one at the scroll up on left top about 1" long and one bottom right at the flourish... about 1/4" long. T are a few scuff marks on the top, one on left and one near the tailpiece, but otherwise the finish is really solid. The cracks and scuffs have NOT been repaired! You would want a professional experienced in doing vintage instruments to do this. The binding is ivory colored and has a few cracks... but is all in place. T is an ugly repair up at the headstock... I took pictures of it. A professional can fix that up. The saddle also appears to have been broken, and repaired by an amature. The tuners are gorgeous.. have a flower inlay pattern on them. The neck appears to be perfect... the back looks good and the frets are all nice looking. The back of the instrument is also very nice. Not all scratched read more
