This seller (or reseller) is offering a 40+ year old West German made Honer Contessa acoustic. You will see these identified as Framus and Hofners on occasion but I am pretty sure that Contessa was a trademarked label of the Hohner company for musical items sold here in the United States all throughout the 1960's and early 1970's.
It certainly does resemble a Framus Texan so it may have been made in the same town or factory as the Framus line. The arched backs on these are a dead giveaway of their West German origin. The pickguards on these often bubble as they shrink over time thought this one appears to be okay.

- 1945 Framus Parlor Acoustic In Seattle Area For $300
Nice little Framus that looks all original - though I don't see how they could still have been making guitars in Bavaria in 1945 (didn't we blow up every German factory by that point in the war?) but probably somewhere around that time. Looks...
