Found this Supertone at a local guitar shop that was taken in on trade from an older gentleman a couple of months ago. Played it, liked it, walked away. Went back a couple of days ago and was surprised to see it was still there when all the new, similar priced mandos were bought. So destiny made me purchase. Label reads F 32 in oval purple stamp. So I take it this is a 1932 Harmony through Sears. Bound back, front and fret board. MOTS peg head overlay.
Can anyone venture a guess on the wood? Mahogany colored and the streaking is not stain. Maybe birch?
Arched front and back without bracing. I believe it is solid because their is a small knot on the front that is book matched under the pick guard. I think is may be pressed (?). The front and back have 1/8 inch circular marks spaced about 3/4 inch in a grid on the inside surfaces and their is some kind of tape applied to surface also.
Thanks for any information.
