I've been good this year, and I am a huge Larson fan.

A little pricey, and I'm having a hard time believing the fretboard inlay is original, but perhaps:

Another nice example:

These are only asking prices, but seem to be high considering everyone who ever played them has died off and there should be no interest. They don't even have humbuckers. WTH?!?
I have a nice 1932 Regal "Diamond Head" that I bought and had Steve at Vintageparlorguitars replace the celluloid fretboard and put on a new bridge...





Here's a nice one on Ebay if your looking for a cool couch guitar....
