The mandolin was made in 1941, most likely by Kay. It has been used by Van Wagner himself for many performances including a live show with the Hard Coal Boys At Kenny's Castaways in Greenwich Village in January 2004. The photo below was taken after the concert on a NYC subway singing a Woody Guthrie song. How many mandolins can say that?
Since 1967, Kenny's Castaways has been the house that Rock built. Bruce Springsteen played his very first New York gig here. The New York Dolls, Patti Smith, Aerosmith, Rod Stewart and the Ramones are all part of Kenny's history. This Mandolin played a 3 set concert on this same stage.

Kenny's Castaways? I once played my elk horn for a 3 night sold out run at Madison Square Garden. The crowd yearned for more and then I told them to suck it.
You want to auction off my horn?
Come get it bitches
