Answer

Hi, Norman--

The serial number indicates a 1962 manufacture date.

There is no model 00023, so I am assuming that it is an 00028 C--the only 000 model made in 1962.

Here is the Blue Book info:

000-28C Classical Add to Collection
- similar to the 000-28, except in classical nylon string configuration with fan bracing and a tied bridge, total production of 560 instruments, mfg. 1962-69.

The pricing info:



Excellent $4,200 - 5,000
Average $3,000 - 3,500
