From what I understand, Gibson produced several batches of F2s in 1922 and 1923 that include Tortoise binding on the back. I've got one, as does Dan Beimborn (#72838).
Just listed on Reverb is a 1923 A1 with Tortoise back binding. First one I've seen.
Maybe this is old news to the experts. Just thought I'd point it out in case anyone has info to share on this issue.
Here's the listing: https://reverb.com/item/67563214-gib...1923-snakehead
