Stunning 1924 Gibson H4 Mandola at Elderly Instruments

There aren't many scroll-bodied mandolas in circulation, and even fewer of them have truss rods. Here's one from 1924, smack-dab in the middle of the golden age of the Loar period at Elderly Instruments. Hats off to Elderly for some of the nicest mando-photography we've seen recently, as well as for presenting such a fantastic instrument for sale.
