Beltone guitars were made by Regal in the thirties, they would have square headstocks, or rounded ones like Dobros from that era. THe later models were made by Harmony and have a slight point to the headstock like many low end Harmony guitars form the fifties. The Regal models are either fake resonators, or pin bridge models. A floating bridge example is probably a Harmony. Harmony may have made fake resonators in the forties and fifties. They headstock would be the clue.
