It was in fantastic condition until a guy asked to borrow it at a bluegrass festival and his belt buckle scratched the back all up, and an inebriated uncle provided the pick scratches across the front. We went to a lot of bluegrass festivals in the 60's and early 70's. Had Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley over to our home, at different times, for a meal. Great memories. I believe my Brother-in-law, John Farley, changed the tuners for her in the late 70's to early 80's as the originals had worn out. Site isn't letting me post the back picture due to size, I'll try and get resolution down so I can share it.

None that can be read. My Mom had it since the late 50's or early 60's. If it was refinished, she wasn't aware of it.

My mom passed away several years ago. I have her old Gibson acoustic guitar. She always told me it was a J-45. It has the scroll banner and is a natural finish which could mean it is a J-50. I can't find any trace of a serial number in it. Any help as to what I have and it's worth would be greatly appreciated.
