Guitar
The guitar this seller is offering looks just like my Harmony H-162. I highly recommend this model as an "under the radar" vintage USA made acoustic. The tops are solid spruce and the sides and neck are solid mahogany (not laminated). They also have nice tortoise-shell type body binding and pickguards.
I can't vouch for the playability of this particular guitar but I just picked up my H-162 this morning and couldn't get over the nice feel and smooth tone and playability even compared to my most expensive Martin Acoustic (approx $2K).
Please be respectful of this seller if you contact him - sounds like he is going through a rough period right now.

This seller is offering an Airline Acoustic he believes is made by Kay and the large dot markers on the fretboard would indicate it likely is a Kay made guitar. I can't place anything else about it - it may have been an exclusive Airline (i.e. Montgomery...
- 1960's Harmony H-162 Acoustic In Chicago For $100
The headstock logo (with the line over the name Harmony) should make this guitar circa 1960-1962. The H-162's was the most popular of the decent guitars made by Harmony from 1940-1971 and the tops are either solid Spruce or Solid Cedar with Mahogany...
