Post pics of the earliest tube amps you can find! Even if it's from the 50's, just post a pic. But if you can find earlier, do it!

Does it have to be a GUITAR amp ?

Or any tube amplifier ?

One of the first commercially available:

Couldn't find a pic of the Ricky amp that had the stand mounted to the top of it for the 'ElectroSpanish' guitar, but that's a cool one too.

I know Gibson and Epiphone had amps at the same time ('35/'36), maybe Vega and National too.

I had a sweet Gretsch electromatic from the 40s or 50s. If I can locate pics, I'll post them. I hope I have some. Regret selling that amp.
