     Very nice and rare Rickenbacher (Rickenbacker) mandolin
    This was made in the 1930's and is credited with being one of the first electronic mandolins made.
    This was made in very very small numbers and you will be hardpressed to find just a handful of these in existence today.
    You are buying it as found, I did not clean it or tune it. I did however check the action and it is good.
    The neck appears straight, the volume knob has a crack in it, but it does not fall off. It has a set screw.
