VINTAGE BOWL BACK MANDOLIN This was a very beautiful and old Italian made Mandolin that has seen better days. From the style of the label inside this could date from late Victorian or Edwardian period. The label inside says "Grande Fabbrica e Deposito di MICHELE MARATEA & FIGLI (allievo di Vinaccia), Fabricante di Mandole, Mandolini e Liuti. Mandolini sistema De-Meglio. NAPOLI (Italia) Vicolletto Rosario a Portamedina 18" It is now in need of major restoration. The neck of mandolin needs to be replaced. The fracture shown in picture 3 is almost certainly not repairable with glue and may need to be replaced. However, in right hands this mandolin could be brought back to be a very beautiful instrument. The bowl is in good order, the tortoishell on the sound board and the tuning adjusters are all in good order. Apart from the damage to the neck there are some pieces of veneer that are missing. Paypal payment please. Will post world wide.
