    This is a used
    Vintage Supertone mandolin.   I'm not a mandolin player or repair tech so I will not know all details on this mandolin, I will do my best to describe it, to my best knowledge it was made around the 1930's or 40's, It is approx:  24 1/4" long tip to tip, measures from the nut to the 12th fret approx: 6 15/16"  nut is approx: 1 1/8" wide 12th fret measures approx: 1 1/2" wide. and it weights 1 lbs 8 oz, as is seen in the pics.   The action is not to bad (see pic), I do know a few chords on the mandolin and tried it out, doesn't seem to have a fret problem any where on the neck that I noticed however the action could be a little lower however there is no truss rod, and the bridge saddle is pretty low, not sure it can go any lower,  perhaps the neck will have to be reset to lower action,  on the bridge saddle on the g strings the saddle needs to be filed out to keep the strings in the proper place it keeps coming out of the g position and falls to the d position, there is some pulling away of the back where it meets the side on the bottom of the mandolin (see pics)  it may need some glue although it seems to be holding ok for now,  inside tag is tore in some places but can still read  Supertone ,  tuning keys all work ,strings are very old but still working,  I believe if some one re-grooved the g string position on the bridge and set the bridge in the right place it could be played at least for a beginner,  however it will need some some repair to make play professional,  would be a good wall hanger as it is or a good project, it shows some wear/age as it is vintage,  the last pic is a pic of the sound hole looking down over the strings, if looking at the g strings then look at the sound hole just above the strings on the center of sound hole you will see were the top is pulling up a little or (when rubbing hand over top of mandolin by sound hole you can fell a little hill)  , top does not have a crack and this is hard to see in the pics, the case is a new baritone uke case a little big for the mandolin but the buyer can have it.
    it is a nice vintage piece, hate to see it not being played.
    Because it is vintage and will need some repair it will be sold as is in found condition no refunds or partial refunds.  Please ask questions before purchase.  Also email me if need more pics and what kind you will need.    Thanks
