Antique Canadian Made 7/6 Lap Steel, But Who Made It?

George Rout · From: St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada

MANY YEARS AGO IN MENNONITE COOUNTRY, NEW HAMBURG ONTARIO, I PICKED UP THIS 6/7 STRING LAP STEEL IN AN OLD 2ND HAND STORE. I AM GUESSING BECAUSE IT HAS 7 TUNERS ON IT, BUT IS STRUNG FOR 6, IT MUST BE FROM THE 1930'S.

THE ONLY CLUE TO MFG ON THE GUITAR IS THE LOGO WITH THE RIBBON AND MAPLE LEAF WITH "MADE IN CANADA". I POSTED SILMILAR PICS ON THE FORUM AT THAT TIME ASKING THE SAME QUESTION.

I'M JUST WONDERING OVER THE YEARS IF ANYBODY NOW HAS ANY INFORMATION. IT'S JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY. IT WORKS ALBEIT THE VOLUME POT IS FAR FROM GREAT.
