1974 Martin 00-18C

I am looking to buy my old Martin back from the party I sold it to a long time ago. I don't have it in my possession right now, but as I recall, it is a Martin 00-18c or 000-18c. I can't find any info on a 000 so it must be a 00.

It is in excellent condition with the case. May ask for a very realistic market value, not an insurance value?

I am not privy to the serial number, but I bought it new in 1974.

Thanks so much,

Mary Ann
