    Description

    1900 Oscar Schmidt Bowlback Mandolin with Butterfly Design. Based off of a basic search of this mandolin, the
    neck is mahogany while the nut, bridge, and fretboard are ebony. It also has a Brazilian rosewood bowl and spruce top, all of good quality. T
    his bowlback mandolin, though unmarked, was almost certainly made by Oscar Schmidt in New Jersey around c.1890-1900. The back of the bowl has a crack and some of the strings are broken. Repairing the piece will be up to the discretion of the buyer. Please see photos for
    condition, detail, and measurements.
