You are offerding on a great antique 1900 mandolin
Nice shape, with some minor issues. The trim on the edge is pulling away slightly ( photo 9 ) and has a long crack on the bottom of the bowl where the pegs areattached, ( photo 10) and a square looking defect on the side of the bowl( photo 11 ). The case has the piece damaged on the back end as shown (photo 2) and the straps are damaged ( last photo ) and does not clasp shut, but still very usable for its age. All 8 strings are intact and all pegs turn but it does need a good tuning. Looks to be pearl inserts on the fret board, but not sure. Also needs some cleaning.
