Despite the disapproval of some old-line Mandolin purists (\"Guitar shaped mandolins?? FAH!!) players liked them as they were easier to hold and manufacturers liked them as they were far easier to build than the traditional bowl-back. If the \"Lute mandolin\" (as built by Martin and Washburn) and the carved-top mandolin (By Gibson) had not come along, these little figure-8 eight strings might still be popular. Sadly, they fell from vogue in the 1920's and are practically extinct today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a very nice if not overly fancy Mandolinetto, made quite well of high grade materials. It looks like the sort of work Harmony was turning out at the time, although there are several other Chicago makers who might be responsible. The top and back are triple bound and there is \"half-herringbone\" wood marquetry along the top edge, soundhole and backstrip. The inlaid pickguard appears to be real tortoise, the fingerboard has pearl dots inlaid and the woods are rather good quality.
