This is a first-year production Kalamazoo Oriole "A" style short scale mandolin made by Gibson. This is a low production style and was only made for about 2 years (early 1940s). The Kalamazoo brand was Gibson's budget line of musical instruments during and immediately after The Great Depression era. The Oriole mandolin and L-OO style guitar differed from other models in the Kalamazoo line, in that they were X braced and were in a natural finish (like the higher priced Gibson branded ... more
For sale is a 1936 Montgomery Wards Flat Top mandolin which was I believe was made by Gibson. It is almost exactly like the Kalamazoo K-11. It comes with its original case. This mandolin has some issues, but could be easily brought back into playing condition. It has a long crack in the back, a crack in the top between the bridge and the end piece. There is also a small crack above the top right tuner. In addition, one of the tuners is missing its post and screw. The previous owner glued note ... more

Purchased Mandolin in Brasstown NC in 2007 from a dealer. Played a little but never stuck with it. The mandolin has been stored in case and inside since the date of purchase. It is quite old, I??ve been told anywhere from 1910 a 1920, so there is a little wear on the body. It has been recently professionally inspected, cleaned, humidified, and restrung by a local music shop (receipt included in pictures).

Gibson 1924 A-1 Snakehead mandolin. The condition is very good. No cracks or repairs. The finish is very good with typical crazing mostly on the back. The tone of the mandolin is dark and deep with great volume and projection. The neck is unbound and could be described as medium full size. Also the neck is straight and the action is low. Very easy to play. Frets appear to be original and have some wear but there is no bottoming out or buzzing. Tuners appear to be original and are nice and tight.... more

I bought this about 15 years ago and the top had sunk, especially on the bass side. I made a bridge to fit that got the strings to the right playing height and played it like that for a while. I bought a Lebeda F model mandola and since I had two , I decided to get this one repaired. I took it to a buddy that builds and repairs instruments and asked him about it. He studied about it for a while and said he would take on the job. He took his time and worked the top as much as he could then put... more
