Hi Guy and or Gals,

A friend of mine has a 6 string lap steel with the name Supro on it.

The serial number on it is T 42881

Can you e-mail me and tell me anything about it's manufacturing date, the number of them made, and a value?

Thanks!

Terry Wood

It would have been made in 1959. Nobody knows how many were made or the value since you didn't provide a model, description or condition.

Pictures are very helpful in this situation.

T42881 would be 1960 according to the chart on that web site:

T25000 - T50000 1960

I had one that I gave to my granddaughter. Perfectly mint with chipboard case. 1959. Paid $300.
It was maroon mother of toilet seat.
Hope that helps.

I'm sure plenty of members of this forum will corroborate the fact that once you start dating lap steels you're on a very slippery slope!

I dated a Remington Steelmaster once. That relationship could have worked, but I let it slide.

I dated one so moody it got all strung out.




I hope this stops soon.

I dated Reece's Superslide but there were too many strings attached.
