Re: Does anyone recognize this makers' label or mandolin?
Thanks for posting this. I have pictures of quite a few examples of these in my files, sometimes referred to as 'pocket' or 'pochette' mandolins and erroneously as 'piccolo' mandolins--which are another thing altogether.
It seems they were popular in Germany, as many of the examples I have seen (and the two that I once owned) were made by the Holdrio-Picolo concern. This example shares the same pick guard shape as yours, but not the headstock profile or tailpiece.
I'm sorry I can't be more help. I've never seen that label before. Hopefully someone will weigh in.
