I bought this amp at an estate sale. The owner was a professional harmonica player in the 50's and 60's. He said this was the greatest harmonica amp ever made. Nothing on the internet to date or name it. I found a guy who used to work at the factory in Elizabeth. He estimated 1959. I want to sell it but have no idea of the value. It was reconditioned in the 90's and never played again. This thing is a cherry. Can anyone help?

It's a Guild 40-T. 1x12ax7, 1x6201 in the upper chassis, a 12ab5 power tube and a 6x4 rectifier on the lower deck. About 3 watts through (possibly) an 8" Quam speaker.

If you look at the sticky on Guild amps, it's in the first post. The Model 40 had several changes through the years.

I can't advise you on a price. Guild amps don't have the same cachet as Fenders. :-(
