The spring broke on this tool. Any idea how to fix it, restore it to it's intended function?

Yes its a classic from 1940s I would definitely treasure it, the newer ones of this style are much loved by many top players with a unique sound ; that big guitar shop in Newyork has 100s of older collectables just like it, not sure of shop name but easily found would give expert advice cheers 😊

it's a Harmony Silvertone 1384 with either a real or fake Gibson neck

chibson

It's a cool old chopper, with some pretty good p-13's in it.

Well, I hate to see you get stuck with it, so how’s $200 bucks sound?

OP doesn't know what quality looks like. You are ignorant of guitars, so why did you even buy it?

I'm not sure it is a Gibson.Perhaps a hollow body Frankenstein. Enjoy it.

I just did a reverse image check by screen-printing the guitar and loading into Google Image Search. Looks like a Silvertone 1384, which may or may not have also been manufactured by Harmony. Clearly someone added the neck later.

Looks like a Roe Company guitar.

No it's a $1,000,000,000 gibson!!!! Go cash it in at the I'm rich store! There's 1 on every corner!!!

It's a hybrid

Harmony h62 with a gibson es350 neck?

You have a refinished re neck'ed Harmony H62....look it up. The interesting thing about them renecking with a Gibson neck is the pickups are Gibson made P13s (P90 Predecessors) that Harmony bought Overstock from Gibson in the 1940s. This is a Really cool guitar my dude!

Wait for Trogly he's your only savior

Looks quite old. I’d take it to a music shop or luthier and get a definitive answer. Are there no labels inside that you can see?

How does it play?

Go to a professional

SO COOL. 2 screw TRC. Could be a re-neck with an ES-175 or 295 neck. I would gig this one and have a blast!

I would say that this guitar is a silvertone 1427L. The body shape, switch and pickups are a match. One previous owner has likely changed the inlay and cut the head in Gibson shape.

Silvertone guitars have similar f holes and switch

That’s a Supro/Valco guitar body (EDIT: Harmony body), and there’s some pretty obvious signs of the neck replacement job at the neck heel/joint. The neck looks good to me as being genuine Gibson. It’s an interesting mongrel that someone would probably give you decent money for on Reverb as it sits. Fun find, enjoy it. I would definitely encourage you to post it in the Vintage Guitar subforum on the gear page. There are some experts in there that are big players in the vintage guitar world and they will tell you exactly what you have and what to do/not do with it going forward.

It has a bit the style of a 60s department Store cheap hollowbody guitar of brands like Kay, Harmony, old Kraftsmann, Airline, Supro and the likes. Maybe one of these guitars were the basis of it? The f holes do not look anything like Inhave ever seen on a Gibson, let alone the pickups

What was the brand on this?

Las vendes

In 80 ' s , it worth nothing too

Why do these collections always end up in the hands of people who have no idea?

According to the Utah State University: "Herbarium" AKA Shelf fungi They have Lethery or fleshy. If fleshy, they do not have a central stem. So yes, they are indeed a mushroom.

Not a mushroom

Hey if it prevents a lawsuit, you put up the whole roll😂

Very few manmade things in North America are truly ancient. This is definitely not one of them.

The metallica $5.98 e.p. is worth BIG $$$$...

We have a Scully that crosses Mulder.

When is it my turrrnnnn

Man, I had one of these too. My mom gave it to me in October of 1986. I can remember sitting at my table at home, finishing my homework with the TV on when the earthquake hit San Fransisco in 1989.

'The true lord of the sith. Darth Sidious'.

Ahh needs work.. but keep atter you got good ideas ❤

I was a hundred percent sure there was a body in there 🤣

When adjusted for inflation that chuck steak would be $5.60 a pound

You didn't look at container sizes, those sizes are larger as well as much cheaper.

I have one

We used to build them in school using Christmas lights. This was before disco.

now famous for crackheads, homeless, people lighting fires and pooping everywhere. Disgusting

His inflation continues its damage and this is his follow up.

Nice collection. I have a nice collection myself..

I had one of these in UK!! Used to get some funny looks and some laughs at the age of 10 in the mid 80's !!

Update ebay canceled the listing for being racist
