I’m just looking for any information on this C.A. Nightingale mandolin. I have done some research and I’m aware that the company was short lived due to a fire to their factory in Evansville Indiana back in the 1900’s. This one has the duel soundboard design patented by Isaiah Nightingale in 1892. It has a stamped serial number on the top of the headstock and a matching number stamped inside.
Any other info would be appreciated.
