For sale by the original owner. Assume he was 20 years old when he got it in 1935. So now he's 97 years old ??? See what owning a Martin will do for you ???

Maybe you should buy that one Glen. The finish on it is really special.

That was a C-2. Braz b&s and carved spruce top. This is about the same shape but all mahogony. Not really worth retopping, rosewood and it might be interesting....

For that price, you could buy the FD on the bay now, have a NICE looking guitar, that I would think, sounds as good or better. I like Martins, but, there is a point that over all value beats collector value.

It doesn't do anything for me. What do these old F hole guitars sound like?

There's a reason they are called "F" holes.
