Leilani MOTS Lap Steel and Amp in Spokane WA - Maybe a Deal?
The seller isn't listing a price on this pair but if you could get them both for $300 total that would be a nice deal. This Leilani Brand ios most likely a Dickerson Product - they were the company that became Magnatone years later. I do think the Dickerson Bros. made theier amps and lap steels in Los Angeles circa 1950. That "Gourley" name and address may have been a distributor or even a music shop at the time.

guitarz.blogspot.com: Maybe I'm in a minority here, but I really think this shiny nickel finish on this Trussart Steel Deville looks 100 times better than the rusty finishes that Trussart's guitars very often feature. The difference is subtle...
