[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 9476370, member: 33"]From what I can find online about the company, Herk Favilla took over in 1959, and the company stopped commercial production in 1973. So that is a range of dates for your guitar. This web page (which appears to be pretty old) gives a lot of information about their history. [URL]http://www.catfish1952.com/favilla.html[/URL] It says that Tom Favilla was around to answer questions by email, but the only date I could find on the page is 2005 so am not sure if he is still around. This Wikipedia page also gives a history of the company. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favilla_Guitars[/URL] I haven't found any information on how to identify the date by serial numbers...[/QUOTE]
