I am not sure when it was made but I would guess it was made in the 1920's. I purchased this from the original owners family. The headstock was already repaired when I bought it and I was told the repair was many years ago. It does have a tight un repaired crack on the back that is stable and I will leave that repair to the new owner. Sold as is but in very good condition. I haven't seen another like it.
