Old Gibson Mandolin Care

I recently received a family heirloom and I’d like to take care of it. What kind of oil should I use on the case and fretboard? Are there any special storage techniques like humidifiers I should use?

I plan to restring it and play it at home at the very least.

A family friend that was a long time Gibson employee estimated that it was made between 1910 and 1915.
