geneo,
I think your search will be in vain. As far as I am aware, no original shiny bowl 12-strings had the same rosette as the early balladeers.
But I could be wrong - |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Only the 6-string model had the chainlink and grapes rosette. Earliest ones were white on black background, then they switched to black on white background.
Classic and Josh White had the geometric zig-zag rosette but changed to the floral rosette in late 67.
Deluxe Balladeer and 12-String Balladeer had the floral rosette from the start. The Glen Campbell versions also had floral. |
