Ebay item # 260071674795. Gibson Mando-Bass formerly owned by Junior Huskey, and then Roy Huskey Jr. Historic piece, very cool.

There are pictures of this instrument on ebay. It was made by Gibson during the 1920's at the height of the mandolin orchestra craze. Very unusual instrument, not too many made.

Nice instrument. Sad that Drusky passed and his wife says in the ad copy that she lost her son. Selling the instrument for needed funds. No idea what these are worth. $28K is the asking price.
