Had one of these. It was stolen about 6 years ago. Would love to find one. I do remember the brass plate on headstock reading something like this: hilo Hawaiian steel guitar company. This is the only photo I have of it. Help!

Hi,
My, my, it may well be a Rickenbacker Frying Pan. Clearly no ordinary kitchenware, and I sincerely hope you may retrieve it somehow.

I have a wooden, Weissenborn styled guitar called a Hilo that I understand was made by Oscar Schmidt Co. In Jersey City. That is an interesting one you had there, it looks very much like a Rickenbacker Frypan but there are some differences, that looks like a big blade pickup for one, also the headstock looks different to me.
Here is a Rickenbacker, did your pickup look like this?

They are a division of Washburn guitars.
I just bought a Oscar Schmidt baritone ukulele, very nice instrument.
