Kay- Old Kraftsman

by Mike LaRose
(Muskego, WI)

It's a 3 pickup configuration, standard (from what I've seen) metal pick/pot plate natural finish front, burst back. Good condition, but not very good or fine. No case, no papers. No major nicks or chips, but hardware needs screw fixing.

Hi, Mike--

General info about Old Kraftsman:

This trademark has been identified as a House Brand of Speigel, and was sold through the Speigel catalogs. The Old Kraftsman brand was used on a full line of acoustic, thinline acoustic/electric, and solid body guitars from circa 1930s to the 1960s.

Unfortunately, the Blue Book does not list prices for these guitars. I found one on the Main Street Vintage Co. site, but it was already sold and no price was available.

You might want to contact them and see what they have to say about the value.
