New Member, New unusual instument!

[Michael Branch]

I am a new member, I joined to try to get some insight on a stringed instrument I just acquired which is a Frank Evans Coulter Mandolin. I have tried to research this item and only found a biography or interview with him published on line by Ancestry.com. I am trying to get a feel for what enthusiasts in this field know of him and if the mandolin is to be considered a rare item or sought after item. I will be selling this soon and would love any insight anyone can enlighten me with regarding this fine instrument. I have tried to down load one photo but keep getting an error message of (500) Michael.
