Regal F-Style Mandolin Reverse Scroll 2 point

The distinct reverse-scroll design for Regal mandolins was patented by Regal's president, Frank Kordick, in 1914. The Regal reverse scroll mandolin is a quirky, iconic vintage instrument produced by the Regal Musical Instrument Company of Chicago primarily during the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s. its defining characteristic is a headstock or upper body scroll that curls in the opposite direction of standard Gibson F-style mandolins. This one falls in the mid-range of quality at the time of construction. Pretty heavy pick wear on the treble side of the top. But functionally intact, plays true up the neck. Original tuners and Bell Brand tailpiece. Portuguese hand made compensated bridge. The neck is bound with white material, likely some sort of early plastic, as are both the top and bottom of the body. No cracks. Play wear as per photographs. Not plywood, likely indigenous wood such as birch and/or poplar that was commonly used on these. Likely a rosewood fingerboard. Oval sound hole also bound. Includes a soft gig bag. Cases for these are non-existent. Basically a pancake type sound. Flat top. No return unless unusual circumstances. Downsizing. Need to move things out. Thanks for looking.
