First I've heard of them. Looks like it didn't make the reserve. OK for a blonde ply I guess. Open scroll back also. Definitely prettier than most laminates and kind of stylin'. Too bad we can't hear it. It looks brand new to my eye. I'd be hard pressed to think it is over 50 years old unless it was new old stock hidden somewhere in a coat closet and never taken out much.
