As a Xmas gift, I asked for the Silvertone guitar and amp (smaller than yours; had one speaker). Right out of the old Sears catalog. Must have been '67-'68.

A few years ago, I found out that folks actually seek out those old Silvertone instruments and amps. Who knew? It sat in my old bedroom for years before I chucked it out.
