Re: Strad-O-Lin Information
"Place of manufacture" is the US, New York/New Jersey to be more specific. Who actually made Strad-O-Lin mandolins is a subject of much discussion and some debate. I've heard several suggestions, but haven't personally reached any conclusions.
The "Strad-O-Lin" trademark was later purchased by a distributor who stuck it on a wide variety of musical merchandise from various sources; I've seen mention of a Strad-O-Lin trombone, for example. Your mandolin predates that development.
