Hi,
I'm trying to find out as much as possible about the National New Yorker from the 1937-38 era with the extra pickups. Does anyone have a catalog - original or repro doesn't matter - from National-Dobro from this period with info about the New Yorker?
If so, would it be possible to scan and e-mail me the page(s) concerning the New Yorker? That would be great and very much appreciated!
Best regards,
Fred

This is from the '36-'37 catalog. Not much tech info here. I don't know if there is a catalog from '37-'38, maybe there were separate ads published in trade papers.

Thanks so much John!  That's great - I love this forum!

| A special chamber to accommodate steels and picks is provided in the body of the instrument for the convenience of the player. |
What's that all about!?!
That's the version preceeding my 1937 model - with concealed pickups but with different controls and some design differences. Has anyone else got ads from this period, or info about this "steel storage chamber"?
Many thanks again!
Fred

Fred,
Take a look at the National logo between the frets and the bridge - that's a 1937 I'd love to find. |
