Antique 1800’s Howard W. Foote & Co ROSEWOOD Bowlback Mandolin

Description

1800’s Howard W. Foote & Co ROSEWOOD Bowlback Mandolin.
Very cool item, please read before purchase and message with any additional questions or for more photos.
This is not in playable condition and would need repair to play. It is missing two strings, has some chipped off wood at the top of the head, small cracking on the front to the left of the brown pattern, separation in the back along two of the ribs - one on either side. Appears to have some hardened glue on the back of where the top of the bowl meets the bottom of the neck. All of these imperfections are clearly photographed.
Thanks so much for looking!
