Hi jedistar,

I know nothing specific about you guitar, but the Valencia brandname suggests a Spanish origin to me. Judging from the photos it was a budget instrument imported from Spain. Given you have strings from the 1930's, I think you can start piecing a story together. Good luck, getting a positive ID on this one will be tough. sb
