Anyone have an idea what year a Ric Silver Hawaiian was built with the serial number of D1191 ? Thanks

Sometime between 1937 and 1943, according to Gruhn's Guide to Vintage Guitars. Do you have any pictures you could share?

Nice guitar! I already have that one in my data base. It has 2 white flying saucer knobs (or at one time did). My guess is '38 or '39. Look for newspaper stuffed inside for a clue to the assembly date.
