Seems that Halifax guitars were actually made by the Kiso Suzuki company.
"Kiso Suzuki apparently then became a manufacturer of guitars in 1951 and worked with other distributors and trading companies to manufacture guitars for not only the Japanese market but also for the overseas market. Some notable companies/names under which Kiso Suzuki distributed guitars: Iwama Trading; CSL Gypsy; Tomson; Kansas; Takeharu; Halifax; and possibly many more. They also made some mandolins, cellos, and violins."
Here's a model MW50 six string, Halifax on the headstock, Kiso Suzuki label in the body.
