<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 2133650, member: 55&quot;]S-57-T makes some sense for a model number, but I think that may just be a model, and not indicate the year; but after some comparison I&#039;m pretty sure that is a Silvertone logo, and possibly made by either Harmony or Kay for Sears; however, I don&#039;t think the headstock shape is quite correct for either Kay or Harmony; but Sears also used quite a few other makers.</p><p>One resource is <a href="http://silvertoneworld.net/acoustic.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://silvertoneworld.net/acoustic.html" rel="nofollow">http://silvertoneworld.net/acoustic.html</a></p><p>but that also seems to indicate that Harmony and Silvertone model numbers should just be numeric. According to one website, most Silvertones should have a 4-digit serial number, with the last two digits being the year.&nbsp; One of my first guitars was a Harmony 910....I carried it on a hike up Mt Rainier in the snow, without a case, in the 1960s....(not all the way to the top, of course, but the poor thing did get snowed on, and it was below freezing when we camped for the night). (Harmony model numbers do not indicate a year, however)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
