Hello,
I’ve got this incredibly ornate mandolin that I’m looking to identify the maker of. It has a violin scroll headstock with fancy carvings, inlaid tuners with tortoise buttons, a tortoise celluloid fingerboard, and tortoise covered neck. The body has intricate pearl inlays and more celluloid as well as F holes which seemed odd. The back and sides have fine detail carving and the body thickness is somewhere between a normal bent top mandolin and a bowlback.
The label seems to read Peter S____ III
Any help would be appreciated. I would love to know more about the builder and what other work he has done
