BEAUTIFUL TURN OF THE CENTURY BOWL BACK MANDOLIN, 26 RIBS AND SOME CARVING ON THE BACK WHICH LOOKS TO BE ROSEWOOD- BRAND NAME \'JEWEL\'(TRADEMARK) WHICH I CAN\'T FIND ANY INFORMATION ON. SINCE THIS IS CHICAGO, I SUSPECT LYON AND HEALY OR HARMONY, WHO WERE BOTH BASED HERE, EVEN REGAL WAS HERE AS WELL, BUT I JUST CAN\'T SAY, THE QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION IS OUTSTANDING AND BETTER THAN ANYTHING I\'VE SEEN FROM EITHER COMPANY. THIS LOOKS LIKE IT WAS STORED IN THE BACK OF A CLOSET FOR THE LAST 100 YEARS OR SO, IMMEDIATELY PLAYABLE AND TUNES UP GREAT. LOTS OF GORGEOUS MOTHER OF PEARL AND TORTOISESHELL INLAY AND PURLING ALONG ALL EDGES AND THE SOUND HOLE. I FOUND AN OLD MANDOLIN CASE FOR IT, THE ORIGINALJUST FELL TO PIECES. THIS INCLUDES THE CASE. I CAN\'T SEE WHERE ANY RESTORATION WOULD BE NEEDED, A COUPLE TINY PIECES OF SHELL HAVE A SLIGHT LIFT AND THERE IS A HAIRLINE ABOUT AN INCH LONG ON THE TOP IS ALL I COULD FIND. I LEFT THE STRINGS AS FOUND AND IT TUNES UP BUT I WOULD PUT A LIGHTER SET ON IT . IT HAS A FOIL LIKE LINER IN THE BODY, I\'D PROBABLY PULL THAT AS WELL. I WAS JUST PLAYING IT ON THE BACK PORCH AND THE THING PROJECTS, IT\'S LOUD. GREAT ACTION, EASY TO SLIDE OR FRET AND THE NECK IS STRAIGHT WITH HARDLY ANY WEAR AND IT WAS TEMPTING TO KEEP IT, BUT I HAVE TOO MUCH STUFF. ANYWAY, PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS AND THANKS FOR LOOKING.
