This guitar belonged to my Dad. I feel like he had it all of his life, but I think he acquired it sometime in the 60s. I have no idea where he got it. All I know is that he had the "wander lust" and would take off for long periods of time (sometimes with my Mom and the 6 of us children and sometimes not ;) ). Anyway, he might not take a change of clothes, but this always traveled with him. The label was very hard to get a picture of, and it appears there are faded numbers on the "Model" line (one looks like a "6"). Any other information would be appreciated.

Way to go PP.....
What a beautiful guitar! You may already know this but the serial number dates the guitar to 1954! It could be older because the serial numbers aren't always 100% accurate. If I had it I would not sell it. Besides being a treasure from your dad it is a very coo l guitar!!!!
