It's not really in that bad of shape. You can go here and find plenty with that tail piece. Very common on the WWII era Harmonys. http://harmony.demont.net/ |

You guys are killing me with these garage sale arch top finds! Okay, Lance, count me as one who would like to see the pictures re-sized. Nevertheless, I saw a feature that I find very interesting on your two-dollar find: A wooden tailpiece screwed directly into the tail block from on top. I don't see any way that can be original, but I think it's pretty cool. Alright, bring it back to the best condition you can, and post (resized) pictures along the way, because there are at least a few arch top lovers out here who will be watching very closely. Congrats on the find (I said grudgingly and with envy)! |

There is no tag, name sticker etc any where that I can find. If I come across anything I will post it here. |

Hi, Tim, Yes, I saw your post and all the others about it being a wartime factory tailpiece. Interesting! And it shows my limited knowledge of such things. I'm glad to be corrected. My problem was that all those other replies happened while I was composing my own, so I didn't see them until too late. Thanks for responding. Patrick |

If it's a Harmony, which I think it is, there should be to stamps visible inside the F-hole one is the manufacture date and should read something like F-43 (fall 1943) or S-43 (spring 1943) and the other would be the model number and read something like H1327 0r H952 (but there are a ton of arch top numbers). |
