My guess would be circa 1910 since it doesn't have the inlaid pickguard but has the lyre label. Do you have numbers: serial and FON? What issues does it have to fix up?

Serial number is 9461. It has a cracked fingerboard and will require frets. Its missing the cover as well.

These things are addicting. Not good for the wallet.

That's got to be the widest grained spruce I've seen on a top. Very cool. I have an A-4 about the same vintage. I believe it's serial number is 9041.

Sweeeet!

Believe it or not, I have wanted one of those ever since I saw Dash Crofts playing one, about 20 years ago.

Enjoy and keep us posted.

Thanks everyone.

Is there a FON stamped inside?

Since I like my kit build so much, I've been eyeing those early Gibsons with much interest. Gryphon had four recently and they are all gone. I played two of them and really like the tone.
