Here is one of these mandolins made by United which I think might have been made with retired mariners in mind- to remind them of peering out of portholes. Anyway, it has some signs of life's travails on it. I will post up that 1959 Sorkin catalogue photo to go with this for posterity! Pickguards for these appear on eBay quite a bit whereas the mandolins themselves do not!
