Mr K012 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 My guess is that its either 1928 or 1933 but I am not sure I cannot add pictures as it exceeds limit size, if someone know how to add media let me know Serial Number : 89165 Marking within F Hole : 37.6 Let me know if I am missing other information to help date instrument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieDog Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Use Imgur. Click create post, upload your image, once it finishes, go to your profile, open your images, then click “direct link” in the menu that opens next to it. then paste that into your post here.

ksdaddy Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Imgur changed. You can “post” photos on there but it’s not like it used to be. I started using postimage and I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard some folks say this. I just started using it last year. What’s different that I should be aware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do, but you can set your profile to private so you aren’t in the public scrum. It only shares with the people/groups you share it to.

I deleted a bunch when I thought I had to clear up space, but it turned out I just needed to put things in folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 All I know for sure is that the only pics that remain on Imgur are the ones I posted like one would on social media. I had 50 or 100 pics I had previously uploaded and when I click on “my photos” or whatever its named, it displays “ this page cannot be found”.

I noticed they changed format a few months back. But I didn’t seem to lose anything other than like I said, I suddenly was getting a “you have exceeded…” message. so I nuked a bunch of stuff, when I wanted to upload more. I haven’t gotten that message since, but I haven’t uploaded much either. Bummed though the nuking broke the link to those posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I've uploaded a couple pics that MrK012 sent me. I asked him for a couple full body shots. I'm also going to move this topic to the Instrument ID section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimR56 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 The serial number dates to 1929, and the block inlays are correct for that year. It should have a 16" lower bout. Also, based on the fretboard shape/design (squared off at the end), this one appears to be from the latter half of 1929. Thanks for posting the photos, ksdaddy.
