    Default Need help identifying a Washburn Bowlback age

    Hello, I was given a Washburn Bowlback in fairly good condition. I'm trying to figure out the approximate age of this mandolin. Serial # is 201694. Thanks for any help

    It looks like a Washburn style 225 from about 1912-3. Here's the catalog page I have:
