If you are looking for a mandola as opposed to an octave mandolin, you might want to investigate a vintage model. I suggest this because I notice that the prices for some of the WWI era H range of Gibson mandolae have not really moved up in price for quite a long time (say over seven or eight years). The 1917/18 H2 that I bought back in the early 90s looks to be about the same price now (when I translate into UK sterling) as when I bought it back then.
The usual suspects (Mandolin Brothers, Gruhn and MWH) would be a good place to start looking if you want that Old Time sound.
