This sounds significant especially including some of our favorite Italian and US-made bowlbacks. https://www.mandolincafe.com/ads/200970#200970
I do understand the desire to get everything sold at once but I can’t imagine how many folks would have sufficient cash to do so. My guess is the seller will be approached by some dealers who will offer to sell on consignment or else the seller will sell with an auction house.
We shall see…
I have a collection of mandolins for sale that will be of interest to mandolin dealers, collectors and restorers. I inherited this collection from a mandolin enthusiast who was a collector and restorer of early and vintage mandolins.
There are several mandolins from reputable builders including Embergher, Calace, Vega, De Meglio, Lyon & Healy, Weymann, Bohmann, etc. There is also a Gibson Mandocello and three banjolins. Some of the mandolins are in good condition and many require repair or restoration. The majority of the mandolins are bowlbacks.
My preference at this time is to sell the collection in whole or part and not just as individual instruments.
Serious inquiries only. More information available on request.
The collection has over 50 instruments and includes:
Lyon and Healy: Style A, Style B, Banjolin Style A No 1330
Gibson: Mandocello K2, Banjolin MB1
Embergher: Signed Mandolin Soloist/Concert model N. 5
Calace: 4 instruments including a Mandolute no 17657
Bruno Banjolin
Bowlback mandolins by Vega, Suzuki, Weymann, Bohmann, Christofaro, De Meglio and other American and Italian makers
