  1. I haven't been able to find a brand on it (doubtful that there is one). My dad's parents definitely wouldn't have had money to buy anything more than the cheapest thing that they could find! ha! This picture is the best that I could come up with, and the quality isn't great, as I had to resize the pic to fit the attachment size limit. The finish was already wearing off, and more came off when the folks who worked on it rubbed it down to hydrate it (I think that's the process...I'm definitely not one to speak with certainty on that). My dad was excited to see it back in working order, although he doesn't play at all. It is a nice heirloom, whether or not it is worth a dime. If I'm able to search it over and find a brand I will let you know for sure.
  2. That does help a great deal...thank you! I'll follow up on those leads. I also found in their attic my father's old guitar that was given to him by his parents in '51 - '52 . Probably just a catalog guitar, but I had new strings put on it and worked on for what ailed it. It sounds decent for a 70+ year old guitar that spent 30 or more years in an attic!
  3. I've looked all over with very little (and somewhat confusing) success. I have a Caballero that belonged to an uncle...he passed away in early '64, before I was born. I'm told that it was maybe a '61 or so, but haven't been able to confirm that. The serial number is on a blue tag; 140112. All that I've read is that the year can't really be determined by a serial number search, and that six-digit serial numbers are even harder to track. Does anyone have a better search connection than I have and be able to shed some light on my search? Many thanks.
