Garage sale Silvertone
Went in the living room to see that my mom went garage saleing, came back with a bunch of cheaper small body acoustics and guitar theme pics and a clock and such. Happened to see one that stood out behind all of them...look at the headstock "...Silvertone?"

It's not in horrible shape, except a bad home repair that left glue all over the thing. I kinda doubt it'll stable enough to be played, but it's cool nonetheless. Pics...

Cool, no matter what.

Wow. A MIA Silvertone? That's pretty neat. Were most of them MIA?

 

[BB123]

I have no idea I could actually use an ID on it, I looked up "Silvertone f hole acoustic" and saw some pics, but no actual model...

 

[jaxn slim]

I found a photo of it and some info. Looks to be the exact same guitar. The model is marked "Unknown"

It's about 1/4 of the way down, right after model 612.

Up until Harmony shut down, yeah. The finish on that one looks really nice. Worth fixing up IMO.
Sometime mid 60s, they moved everything to Japan.

I'll probably eventually look around for people who could do a pro repair, and see how much it would cost. When? I dunno

 

[Elias Graves]

I love mine. Fun guitar.
