Beautiful Italian Mandolin, 1915 G. Puglisi Neapolitan

This is a very rare antique mandolin made in 1915.
I fell in love with its appearance, which looks like it's from a Ghibli story, and have had it on display.

It is old and has some scratches, but I can include a case for free if you'd like.
It has a gentle, mellow sound. I would be happy if it could be passed on to someone who appreciates it.

Made in Italy, Neapolitan Mandolin
Uses Brazilian Rosewood
With beautiful mother-of-pearl rosette inlay.

G. Puglisi Reale & Figli - Neapolitan Mandolin - Catania, Sicily (Italy) 1915

An identical one that had been broken and dirty, and then restored, sold for about ¥125,000. In contrast, ours is all original and in very good condition (see photos).

One latch on the case broke off. (see photos)
