Schutz-Marke Bowback Mandolin

Schutz-Marke Bowback Mandolin c. 1900 SOLD 5 13 10
   This very ornate mandolin was made in Germany many decades ago. It has, as the photos show, Inlaid gears with pearl buttons, over the Indian Rosewood peghead overlay, Mother-of-Pearl rosette, a beautiful fluted back of Maple, a radial (rounded) rosewood fingerboard, original Ebony bridge with nickel silver saddle. It does not have the original case, but a comtemporary soft shell case. The neck is dead straight and the resonance and ability to produce crescendos is phenomenal.

 In the photos above and below one can see: There is one piece about 3/8” of an inch long of the ornament vine that is missing. The rest of the instrument is immaculate.
