I recently purchased what was advertised as a 1917 Gibson A-0. The label is badly faded and I really can't make out a serial number. There is what I assume is a factory order number stamped on the left side of the neck block(I guess that's what it's called). It looks to me like the number is 11007, but thought I'd try to get other peoples' opinions, if I can figure out how to post the picture I took of it. I did look up that FON and it looksl like it could be a 1917 or maybe a 1916. (http://www.mandolinarchive.com/perl/list_mandolins.pl) Hoping I can successfully post a picture, I'd appreciate feedback as to what the number looks like to anyone else. Thanks!
