It almost looks like one of those Guldan amps to me. Also very similar to the Silvertone 1301.

The finish is very similar to the Epitome lap steels of that era and they frequently came as a matched set.

Doug has a great video showing he picked one of these amps up and restored it. He also mentioned this forum post with no replies at that time.

It looks a lot like my Silvertone "Champ." I believe it was made by Valco (Supro, National...). Mine is a '52 and it took me years to finally ID it as it has no brand markings anywhere. I found a picture on the interwebs and tracked down a catalog reprint.

Bruce Collins at Mission Amps in Denver rebuilt it for me. It screams with a lap steel.
