[QUOTE="Woutinc, post: 6636871, member: 78422"]Nice. IMO the dating fits. And it's still original. Great find. Antique parlor! :happy: 2 probs though. 1/ It's in bad shape. And bad is said nicely. 2/ Only the most well known brands have serious worths. These in good condition are a couple of hundred bucks. [URL]https://reverb.com/item/1084295-collegiate-santacilla-parlor-guitar-1920-s-1930-s[/URL] I've owned a parlor that age myself, in good condition. And indeed simular worth. Restaurating it is only for your pleasure. And you must be able yourself, as if a specialist must do it you will have a loss. Restaurating this one always will cost. Most cheapest reastauration is leaving it as is, and only make it playable again if the neck is good (bridge, headbridge, new strings). Decorative usage remains. Then it can have worth for that (more then 'guitar'?). And then the wear is complementing. Then just wax it. Always a beautifull object :D Love old parlors.[/QUOTE]
