well... let's see... "bowl patch" looks like regular old original rubber skidpad that has shrunk or a replacement in place.

I've seen worse finish cracks at the back of the headstocks on many others of this vintage so is somewhat typical..

my '71 had several finish to wood cracks, actually 3 from bridge to base and did not affect tone or playability...

it's a 1611 or 1612 with a single knob FET preamp..


but... Headstock or headplate is wrong in natural for a -1 sunburst/tobacco-burst balladeer..and I can't see an Ovation logo on it in the pictures... so maybe the "finish crack" at the neck break angle is more than described.

all in all... if it includes a case $200 doesn't seem too bad... but I would want to check it out first to be sure.

Somebody removed the veneer, either peeled it off or sanded it off...
