Here is an email I received from a visitor to one of our other websites - any ideas?

Cleaning my mothers attic we found an old guitar with the makers mark inside. It said Eugene Howard maker with the number 13973 in it. I have been researching it but can only find out that he was a maker of guitars from 1896-1925. I would like to know more about the guitar before I let my 4 year old granddaughter play with it. Any info you could give me would be appreciated. Thank you

I could only find this thread:

which doesn't lead anywhere much, and this:
