    Default Old Stella mandolin

    I have what I believe to be a 1930s Stella mandolin. It has mother of toilet seat fingerboard and headstock overlay. Body is black, top back and sides. Has original tuners, bridge and tailpiece....anyone know what the value and year this might be ?... no serial number of any kind on this mandolin?

    No serial numbers. That is an Oscar Schmidt Stella I believe. Not hugely valuable but collectable. Here's one Musurgia sold a while back that's similar. Yours has more MOTS.

    All of the current sold listings on eBay are Harmony built. They aren't nearly as nice as these are.
