OK, to preface this, this IS an article from the DailyMail, so I don't know how much truth is there, but can anyone ID the guitar pictured? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ers-half-century-ago.html?ito=social-facebook

Re: Guitar ID from article.
That looks my first guitar. The bridge and the unique eye catching sunburst finishes are two clues. The fingerboard probably has poorly spray painted fret markers. Also, I wish we could check the strings to be sure. If they are Black Diamond strings with a badly corroded wound third string, we have a winning guitar. It probably is the guitar from my reoccurring nightmares, a Stella.

Stella. The Oscar Schmidt Company was the biggest instrument builder of the 1910s and 1920s not based in Chicago; they had three factories in the US and four in Europe, but were based in Jersey City, NJ. Many of their instruments are difficult to distinguish from similar products by Lyon & Healy, Harmony and Regal, especially since Oscar Schmidt sold to a similarly vast range of brands. Their most famous creations were sold under their proprietary Stella, Sovereign and La Scala brands, but no instruments were sold under the Oscar Schmidt name. The company was dissolved in 1939; the Sovereign and Stella brands were purchased by Harmony, who continued to build under those names through the 1960s.
