Can anyone i.d. this one? I am going to go take a boo, hopefully play it a little; but I think the dude is off on the date... But I have scant knowledge on these matters and I know there are plenty of you who like to advise on these matters. Thoughts?

| That could have been made by a number of manufacturers, but the general style suggests Regal or Oscar Schmidt to me. I agree with him on the date - post-WWI to early '30s. |

According to this website it was probably made by Harmony of Chicago.

That looks a lot like one I have at home in [Wi]. My mother purchased it before WW2 for my sister to learn the Hawiian guitar method. Case is a little used but insterement is in good condition. I cannot remember name on the key head. I'll check when I get back home. I know the case has an old Wisconsin School of Music sticker on the case.
