1950s plastic toy skiffle guitar with auto-chord attachment
guitarz.blogspot.com:
I love these old 1950s and 1960s plastic toy guitars; sometimes they can be just as fascinating as real guitars. This particular
1950s skiffle guitar has a idiosyncratic auto-chord attachment on the neck so the player doesn't even have to learn chords - just press a button. That is, so long as they don't want to play any chords other than G7, E7, C, A7, D7, G.
Currently being auctioned on eBay UK with a low starting price.
