Description: Travel back in time with this old Kay mandolin. Made in Chicago. Judging by the headstock logo and looks, I believe it is from the late 1940s or early 1950s. Cosmetically, it's quite worn. Despite the dull finish, it kind of looks good. With some love, it should sing again. Primarily, the neck heel has separated from the body. So, it needs a neck reset. Two of the Kluson Deluxe tuner buttons are missing. Two of the tuner buttons are in poor shape. The other four tuner buttons are in so-so, but seemingly functional condition. There is a maybe 2" very tight grain crack on the back treble side beginning at the tailpiece area. The bridge is in good condition. I'd sure love for somebody to get this fixed up. I could do it, but my fix pile is just toooooo big right now. Questions? It will be well packed with plenty of new 1/2" bubble wrap and shipped in a new 46"x19"x7" stout cardboard instrument box. Please check out our eBay store, Time Travel Music, for more cool vintage stuff, including a bunch of vintage guitars (and a few ukuleles, banjos, fiddles, mandolins and amps, as well as fiddles, brass, woodwind, and various oddball musical instruments and old instrument brochures & catalogs). And please check out our YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/toadstoolshadow, to hear some of our original music.
