Looking for some information on my late fathers mandolin, particularly date & origin. I have searched the internet high and low. Labeled “Bell Brand Patented NMS co” I found a similar looking one in this forum and some suggested it was a “faux resonator” as with that one mine has holes only by the neck where you can see straight to the back of the instrument. The others you cannot.
I have attached photos for reference.
Thank you in advance.
