Yup and an LOL, Jim.

I can't shed much light on the maker but I've seen these recessed tuners on a few old mandos. You probably already know that the generic name for these bowl back mandos is "tater bug" and they're as hard to keep in your lap as a gourd banjo.

Yes, I think so, Dave.

Big LOL, Pick.   Are you sure it's a Swampy?  

Yup, on your photo.   Close, close.  And good info.  Narrowing it down.

found this 

But that's from pinterest  , so anyone could have mislabeled  it  . .i would also consider  "Osborn "  of Chicago. as another  guess. (both had recessed  back plates  .. even a full single plate on some .)

But  that sexy thing on the  back wall  is definitely  a  swamp witch  ;-)
