Hello! This is my grandfather's Washburn mandolin that I just had restrung so that my son can learn to play it. Other than something strange going on with the varnish on the head, it is in really good condition and I'm guessing that Grandpa purchased it in the 1970s or early 1980s. My elderly old mom however, thinks this is the same mandolin that he played during her childhood (mid-1930s and 1940s). There are no serial numbers that I can find. I've reached out to Washburn for help, but thought that you all might also be able to advise.
Thanks!
