Lot 225p
An acoustic guitar, the head marked Martin & Co, contained in a carrying case £100-150

Please note that we have only catalogued this lot as marked \"Martin & Co\" and not definitely as Martin. We are not guitar dealers and have no specific knowledge so only describe what we see. There is no label inside the soundhole and the gilt naming to the head is slightly blurry. Inside the guitar the back is marked E9 and further inside at the base of the arm, it is stamped 0-26 and then underneath that 688695, although this is quite difficult to read. The overall condition is very good with only a tiny bit of wear to the neck and none at all to the front and back of the body. Overall, the guitar is very shiny and comes in a new plastic hard case, all of which makes us rather dubious.
