[Acoustic Gibson ...No serial number.]

This looks like a 1948/1949 J-45 in excellent condition. The "lot of work" that I can see is just new tuner buttons and bridge pins - that's about $40 worth of parts if you really splurge on the bridge pins.

There may be structural issues I can't see, and at that age a neck reset is probably necessary, but this would be a dream guitar to stumble upon for sale.

Thank you ! That's great news. The client gave me a 3/4 Global guitar (free) but was reluctant to let go of the Gibson .  Now I  can see why !

I do believe there was a hairline crack near the base of the neck where it angles up towards the fret board.

Could use some help.
A customer of mine has this very well used Gibson that needs a ton of work. 
No decal ..no serial number.   Is it worth restoring !!
Thanks in advance.
