    Default Need info on a Washburn mando

    I bought an older mandolin today at a swap meet. It's a Washburn. Model 1915. No. 24199 Style G. Paper label inside. Washburn metal plate on back of headstock. Help!? I have photos but don't see how to post them. I'm brand new to this site.

    Does it look like this one?

    This G has "Washburn" stamped in the back of the headstock rather than the metal plate w name you describe.

    Post some photos of yours, please.

    The style G is from 1922-25 according to Pleijsier's book and would have been made by Regal. There is a catalogue drawing from 1923 on page 158 with all the blurb.
