I believe this is the model. Longer scale from the 50's. I have a 59 Salmon colored, and a 54 Blue (Green now). Plastic fret board, and usually have a removable cover over the bridge/pickup.
I am not interested in selling mine, but I don't know the value since I bought mine 20-25 years ago.

Hi Lefty-
The 2007 edition of the Vintage Guitar Price Guide says the Ultratone was made from 1946 to 1959. It shows both the 1940s models and the 1950s models going for $900 to $1000. You could also check the completed sales on ebay for another perspective. Some of the early Century 6 models look similar, but I have only seen them in black. I really like the looks of the first generation beige and coral(salmon) Ultratones from the 40s. Hope this helps.

Does your '59 have the Humbucker? I'd like to find one; I have a '53 with a P-90 sounds great.
