Mailbag: 1920s Weymann Mystery Tenor Guitar


At first glance this looks like a fancy Oscar Schmidt (or related: Cerrito, et al...?) build from the '20s. On closer inspection, and given the information that it's X-braced from the owner, plus the odd tuners and...


...the telltale serial (47194) and model (260) stamp in the headstock's top, we've made our confirmation that it's a Weymann-built instrument. Neat!

I was bidding on one of these about five years ago on eBay but I lost. That Rivington example is the only other one I have seen before this one.

Just to clarify my post- the one I was bidding on was exactly the same as the Rivington example which I think is a bit older than suggested in their blurb.

This guitar appears in the c.1930-31 Weymann catalogue page 73. I have a Weymann serial number dating table on my site leavingthisworld(dot)com and this guitar will date to the first few years of the 1930's. Charles
