Early 1950's bakelite which has the string thru body style of the pre war era. They made a few of them in the early 50's as well. Mine is mint condition and drop dead gorgeous. The finest I have ever seen. The magnet was recharged and the pot replaced with new CTS pots as the old ones were frozen from just sitting for over 50 years unplayed. It has the cool tuner flip cover too! It comes with the original hard case. The tone is as good as it gets. I never really played this much. I bought it from another forumite in 2007. Comes with the case and original electronics. $950 firm.
