Love the dancer and her kika kila kane sitting under the palms with an Oahu amp. Must be on a long extension lead.

That is indeed a beautiful instrument, George. Judging from the artwork in Noah's catalog, it would appear the differences between a Dynamic and a New Yorker are mostly cosmetic. Much akin to the Gibson Centurys and Ultratones of the early postwar era.

Thanks George and the three who answered. Bill Huey will be pleased to know what he found. Wonder what year the ad is from.

It's a page from the 1942 catalog.
