Re: Mysterious Washburn flat top mandolin
And, by the way, there was no "George Washburn." George W. Lyon's middle name was Washburn, and that gave the name to the Lyon & Healy line of instruments labeled "Washburn."
If a company's going to invoke the name of a discontinued US brand of instruments, they could at least get their facts right...
