John E Dallas A Style Mandolin Flat Back Early 1900's
Early 1900s John E. Dallas and sons Mandolin
The company also went by the name Jedson.
Flat Back A Shape mandolin with beautiful pickguard and tailpiece cover.
This Mandolin is in pretty rough shape cosmetically. There are innumerable scratches and dings. The binding was taped to the instrument when we received it. There is a Large crack on the back of the instrument that it looks like someone attempted to repair very poorly. There is a smaller but not insignificant crack on the top near the fretboard. One of the inlays were reglued in. The binding is missing some pieces and has residue from the old tape that we werent able to completely get off. With all that being said, this incredibly rare instrument still functions properly. It has a great sound and a really cool look. The tuners work like brand new and the bridge is in good shape which is incredible for something that is somewhere around 100 years old. We dont know the exact date this was made, as it is an incredibly rare piece that didnt have widely available manufacturing dates to reference. But the company that made this went out of business in 1921 so at minimum this item is 99 years old.
