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.
