All I know is the brand is an Epiphone Electra.

Electar Model M, 6-string, 1937-9, average condition, non-original case; I'd put it in the $400 area.

I noticed 3 Control Knobs. I can not find a reason.
Nice looking guitar

I had a similar one. There are two tone knobs - high cut and low cut, and volume.

I have a different version of the Electar and it sounds incredible. Good vintage sound on these guitars

The third knob is a bass roll-off; this was added to Hawaiian and Spanish electrics (and other electric models) in 1937. The Electar name was used for all Epiphone electric instruments between 1936 and 1958 and does not indicate the model.

I was playing it,s round necked cousin today and admiring the grunt of the pickup that comes with the electars.Not as harmonic/treble as a Rickenbacker but more low end
