Thanks a lot Basil. It didn't seem to be a difficult thing to put the url in between the html tags, but maybe because the picture was in an "album" and not just an uploaded pic. Just like your guitar playing Basil, you're a whiz!!! Thanks. Geo

recently I saw a guitar quite similar to that.
it had a raised nut so it was a lap style slide guitar. cant remember if it had a sq neck.
the guitar I saw was an old Regal from the late thirties.
it had the same inlay around the sound hole but the bridge was very different fromm the distinctive bridge you have pictured.

It looks to be a Regal from Chicago made in the early '30s. The bridge is the work of Boselli who worked for Regal before venturing out with luthier Joseph Zorzi in 1934. I've seen this model with both square and round neck profiles.
