You can look this discussion over. I don't know who actually made it but like a lot of old lap steels, it would seem that it received different brand badges.

I think Harmony built those "cracked finish" lap steels, 1940s, and branded them for various companies. Most of them have the "Epitome" logo on the headstock. Do a Google search for Epitome lap steel, and click on Images. You'll see a lot of them. If I were selling that lap steel I would list it as a Harmony and also mention the brand name.
