Missing 1901/02 Vintage Sears Guitar

Post by Herbie Meeks »

Hope this URL works, the only picture I have of this Guitar, I owned the Guitar many years, It was placed in a display case with other Vintage instruments , in Arkansas, This is the only one that came up missing.Easily Identafied, with the Bridge replaced, and The Fingerboard extending partly over the sound hole, I am guessing, The Guitar is now in some Vintage collectors Display, Hope someone sees this, and knows how to alert Collectors, http://www.imagehost.ro/pict//061558384576cc8ea4eb2.jpg

The URL is suppose to be a picture of the Guitar

About 3 years ago,
This notice was just a thought
as I joined the Forum in August 2006
Had no other way of trying to find
the Guitar.

Frode , Thanks for fixing the picture.
I was told,a lot of Vintage Instrument Collectors are a close knit bunch like the Steel Forum members,They also have assisted in matters like this.

That Guitar was Authenticated from a
Picture in a 1901/1902 Sears Catalog.
Listing it for, I think it was, $ Three Dollars, and 75 cents,
and a very rare Guitar for todays collectors
