So, The story of how I obtained this instrument is pretty straight forward... I went to an extremely small back-woods flea market over the weekend with my family, and the guy said it was pretty much worthless junk then sold it to me for ten dollars. I've spent the past four days looking for information on the instrument with no avail. That is when I decided to post it here and see what type of response you guys give me.
Here is what I know about it:
It does have its original case, and it came with sheet music (around seven or eight songs) dated 1935 and 1936, with somebodies old musical notes written on them! I figure it probably was made around this time, and somebody loved it dearly. It has the original owners name scratched in to the bottom, and also had two finger picks from the 1930s inside of it.
