Washburn mandolins were introduced circa 1892, which was when mandolins became very popular. The first models were the bowl-back instruments with deep bowls. Washburn offered many different grades of their mandolins ranging from basic to highly inlaid ornate models. Circa 1915, Washburn introduced the flat-back mandolin that was similar to Gibson's design. In 1917, the name Lyon & Healy was applied to Washburn mandolins, but by the early 1920s, Washburn was put on the mandolin again (along with a variety of other labels). Washburn also produced mandolas, mandocellos, contra basses, a guitar mandolin (Mandolinetto), and a 12-string mandolin. Mandolin production continued through the 1930s and was discontinued around the same time the entire Washburn line disbanded. C.F.Martin was also making these style Mandolins for Washburn. Please Note the now familiar "Snowflake" Inlays.. Remarkable resemblence to C.F. Martin...Hmmmmm. Makes you wonder.. We have plenty of reason to believe this was made by C.F. Martin between 1989-1921, basically this is a style 6 34 rosewood ribs. Snowflake Inlays, etc...
