There's a steel on the auction site that purports to be an Emmons. At first glance it looks like an SKH LeGrande with paddle type push/pull pedals.
Here's a pic:
I admit I've never seen the greasy side of an SKH, but the mechanism looks so un-Emmons'ish. It looks like the pedal rods are screwed into an aluminum block and have a lock nut. The block appears to function as a cam!
What is this thing?

It doesn't look anything like my SKH LeGrande.

Thanks guys.
The guitar appears to at one time have had 5 pedals, and that also struck me as odd because the 4, 5 and 6 pedal singlenecks I've seen were from the '60s or early '70s; a good many years before the LeGrande era.
If you compare the auction photos to my blowup you can see that the two white spots in the middle of the front apron are holes that are drilled completely through the body.
