Hi,
I just bought this no-name mandolin from an eighty-one year old man. He said his mother bought it for him when he was eleven (1943) from the Eatons Department Store Catalogue. It has a mahogany neck, top, back, and maybe maple sides. It sounds nice and bright and has no buzzes, just need to lower the action a bit!
Does anyone know who built mandolins for the Eatons Co. at this time? I found out a company called Suprema made guitars and mandolins for Eatons, but I couldn't find this model.
