1. Identification of Official Product Name and Era
• Official Product Name: Stella 12-string Guitar-Mandolin
• Manufacturer: Oscar Schmidt Company
• Model Features: While having 6 courses and 12 strings like a guitar, it's a hybrid model that fixes the strings with a tailpiece and uses a movable bridge, similar to a mandolin.
• Era: Early 1920s to mid-1920s (approximately 100 years ago)
• Basis: The distinctive square dot decal decoration (rosette) found only on Oscar Schmidt instruments from the 1920s, and the metal trapeze tailpiece that was standard on Stellas of that era, match perfectly.
