What could that be? And is that a bottle opener? What is that? I'm intrigued!

Apparently it's a late '60s post-Dano Coral. (what model I don't know) So many overlaps with Danelectro, Silvertone & Coral and this lower echelon model is a grab-bag of references from each. Yes - bottle opener... like the other 'personal touches'. Wish me luck, I'll be bidding on it in a few days.

I thought it was Silvertone-ish but couldn't i.d. it. Good luck with the bidding!

It will depend on what $ it's at right before it's over - it's already edging close to my limit for a 'project' in that state.

Oh, it's in a state alright but certainly has potential all over it. And it does say "George" on one end and "J" on the other so maybe it was George Jones's

That “crusty mud dust” looks a lot like what you see on cars after they’ve been sitting in a barn for a few decades.

Or Jio... (and Geo is short for George)

I won't lie, I snuck that in there for you. All the aluminum, switches, position markers, etc, just a ton to like here. Plus it sort of smells like cookies or brownies.
