It was made by Harmony circa 1930 and many were sold by Sears, Roebuck under the Supertone brand. Sears, Roebuck owned Harmony from 1916 to 1941. People date them in the 1920s but they are a little later.

These mandolins do not have a neck block as such and this can cause problems. This seller has two Reverb ads:

Mick- at this Reverb listing the seller shows the inside and mentions that the shape of the top end of the body is made by the cut block- which is not a "block" in the usual sense and I think allows the neck to be pulled downward as Jake describes it.
