Thread Name: Houghton banjo mandolin
Subject: RE: Houghton banjo mandolin
I just bought a mandolin banjo while traveling in Edinburgh, Scotland, last week. It came in a black case that's stamped with the words "The New Reliance Registered Trademark," but only words/numbers/symbols on the actual instrument say "English Make." It has 8 strings and 17 frets. I've been trying to do research on it since I got home to track down a manufacturer and/or year, but I haven't had any luck yet. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks, all!
