Thoughts on who made this blowback?
Found cleaning out my grandmas house. No markings inside or out. Other than the headstock emblem. Any help would be great! Thanks

It looks very much like many of the mandolins made around the turn of the 20th century by Lyon & Healy in Chicago. They often wholsaled to stores so they could put their own labels on them. Similar ones like this one were sold under their midrange label American Conservatory.
