I used to own this one until last year. It had been passed down through a family generation after generation and barely even touched. Now it's up for sale at Folkway Music.
When I first got it I felt like I had walked into a music store in the 1920's and bought a new Martin 3K. Insane flame and perfect finish, just ever so slightly dull, not glossy at all like modern finishes that never really look right. The tuner buttons weren't even discolored. What a jewel!
The photos on the Folkway site make it look a little dark, some more sunlight would really show off the glow of the finish.
