Re: 1920-21 Gibson F4 value?
Got some major issues: back separation, that messed-up point, bridge is almost all the way down but the action's sky-high. Take the string tension off it immediately! And I'd take it to a good restorer (or forward your pics), and get an estimate for its restoration. Without some idea of how much it'd cost to get it into playing shape, hard to say what its market value is.
Good condition F-4's appear to be selling for $4-6K (dealer prices). If you get half the lower price, I'd say you're doing well.
