The eBay seller believes that this vintage (I dare not call it antique) Vaquero cowboy guitar decorated with stencilled polo player dates somewhere within the 1940s/1950s. Whilst I can't imagine that it would be one of the better sounding acoustic guitars on the planet, it's nice to see the patch where the finish has been worn away (adjacent to the second polo player), indicating the guitar has seen some quite heavy use in its time. It's also interesting to note the stencil-like f-holes which are positioned much further forward than I've seen on any guitar.
Currently being auctioned on eBay with a starting price of US $175.

- Vintage German-made Pearloid-finished Migma Solidbody Electric Guitar
guitarz.blogspot.com: Most regular readers probably already know how much we like vintage German guitars here on Guitarz. This Migma solidbody was made in the former East Germany; the seller claims it is from the 1950s, but I think 1960s is far more likely,...

- Gretsch Broadcaster 1970s Solidbody Oddity
guitarz.blogspot.com: This Gretsch Broadcaster circa 1975-76 wouldn't win any beauty contests. It's as if they wanted to make a Fender-like solidbody but didn't spend too much time actually designing the guitar, so it's a big slab-bodied...
- 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...
