In 1917 the standard teardrop pickguard was introduced. In 1919, the front and back became bound with rosewood with a white holly inlay. When this model was reintroduced in 1980, it was renamed the Style A-3, but none were ever produced under that designation.
There were also Style B & BB mandolas produced. See the Mandola section.
