| 1923-1925 Banjo/Mandolin
This rare Epiphone Banjo/Mandolin
featuring Flamed Maple sides, Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard, rim mounted
bridge and Pig Skin head is a fine example of early House of Stathopoulo
craftsmanship. This instrument does not have a serial number but the Model

Guarantee Certificate from the era is included in the pictures
here.
