Hi, Michelle--

The Blue Book says only this:

"Instruments previously produced in New York during the 1950s and 1960s. Later models manufactured in Japan.
Strad-O-Lin was a brand name of the Peter Sorkin Music Company. A number of solid body guitars were built at the Multivox company of New York, and distribution of those and the later Japanese built models were handled by the Sorkin company of New York City, New York."

From this we can deduce that your guitar was manufactured in the (probably late) 1960's.

The Blue Book does not give pricing info for these guitars and I could find no pricing info on the internet. I think, however, it is safe to assume that it might be worth from $50 to $150 to the right buyer.
