I have one of those. Was given to me, needing a neck reset I haven't gotten around to doing and basically unplayable. I've been told they sound much better than one would expect. I can ask the guy who gave it to me (original owner) if he remembers when he got it.
How does yours sound? |

I've been to the location of the Oahu company in Cleveland. It's now a parking lot and hangout for derelicts!

| With a flashlight, I can see a SN 8111 in Red inside the sound hole on one of the braces. |

| It looks just like the one I was issued when I took Oahu lessons in 1950. |
