<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 9819676, member: 55"]That's good you still have it; similar to a bridge used by Martin through the 1930s, but if a Martin, it should have a model number and serial number on the neck-block, so do look there. And by the 1930s Martin was always stamping the internal brace that is visible through the sound-hole, and marking the head-piece, so not apparently a Martin. But still a decent-quality guitar, 1920s to 30s or later - could be as recent as 50s-60s, those tuner designs were used for a long time, so I'd not think the patent date means much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
