Just got a gray MOTS Magnatone Varsity. It has red lucite tuning knobs, red lucite tone/volume ans a red lucite diamond on the headstock.

Clear plastic fretboard with gold stars and a MOTS covered Pup.

Chipboard case.

Any guess to the year, oiginality, etc?

I have seen one of those. the red is quite tasty.
Magnatone was 50's.
and that is a wild stab and probably useless to you.
