You have a thread from 2018 about  a Gibson Archtop (mid-1930's) "Non-Catalog Special" Black.  I am looking for the rare information about my own black archtop,     The info was posted a few years back and I have come to the conclusion it is a "non-catalog Special No.5" and was probably  purchased new in 1941 for a Christmas gift. ($24.50).  It was restored to working condition by a local luthier who did not take the character away but mainly cleaned it up and added the missing pick guard and strings.   We are looking for any information you could provide.....

Thanks a bunch for any, (I mean any) information you could add!!
