Product Description:
This vintage hybrid string instrument, manufactured by the Oscar Schmidt Company in the early to mid-1920s, uniquely combines features of a 6-course 12-string guitar and a mandolin. It features a tailpiece for string fixation similar to a mandolin and a movable bridge, characteristic of Oscar Schmidt instruments from that era. The instrument is distinguished by its square dot decal rosette and a metal trapeze tailpiece, matching the design elements found on 1920s Stella models. The interior label is missing, and the country of manufacture is not specified.
