Airline

by Kim

I have no idea how much this is worth, it says airline at the head of the guitar and the serial number is L 9223.

Hi, Kim--

Nice Pic!


This trademark has been identified as a House Brand of the Montgomery Wards department store chain. Author/researcher Willie G. Moseley indicates that the unique body design is proprietary to the Airline brand.

Here is what the Blue Book says:

ARCHTOP MODELS
- hollow archtop bodies, cutaway or non-cutaway, f-holes, raised pickgutards, various appointments, mfg. 1950s-1960s.

Depending on quality--anywhere from $500. to $175.

Hope this helps!
