Hi Rick,
The St. George brand name is associated with 2 Japanese import companies, Buegeleisen & Jacobson of New York and WMI of Los Angeles. The St. George label was used on Japanese import guitars from the mid to late 1960's. They were entry-level guitars and weren't know for great production quality. As for value, the 2004 Vintage Guitar Price Guide estimates values for St. George guitars in good condition to be between $60 and $150. I've found the price guide to be a little conservative on prices but this should give you an estimate. It is an unusual brand, just not particularly valuable. Sorry if I've brought bad news, but I hope the information helps. Steve
