8 String bowl style mandolin . It doesn't have a name or any markings on it. I would picked it up at a flee market because I like the look of it and couldn't beat the price. I would appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thanks

Re: What type of Mandoline is this?
I'm guessing it's Japanese from the '70s or thereabouts.

Looks like those made by Suzuki in Japan in the 1970s under various labels.

I have one that looks exactly the same. Mine is branded Ibanez, 70's built I believe

Suzuki, I had one exactly the same so many years ago.

Re: What type of Mandoline is this?
Could someone tell me how much they are worth?
Re: What type of Mandoline is this?
In the US, if in excellent condition, maybe $150-200. I assume you are not in North America from your spelling of mandolin(e).

Re: What type of Mandoline is this?
LOL @ Jim how could I make that mistake. I'm from Maryland
Re: What type of Mandoline is this?
That is all right. Perhaps you can also slice some vegetables with that mandoline.

Re: What type of Mandoline is this?
It looks like my old '70s Suzuki, fwiw, and unless it's in absolutely playable condition, a nice wallhanger. I gave mine away to a community theater group as a prop. IIRC, the necks had a tendency to bow, at least the lower level ones.
