Hello, This is Don, In the past I have replied on this forum about the search for info on the Crest guitar Co., informatoin was very hard to come by, I was begining to think that there just wasn’t any info about them, there were a few other people on this forum with the same problem,well I continued to look for info on the one that I have and yesterday I did find out a little about them thanks to a post that I ran across on another guitar forum, I want to thank who ever it was that posted this info and I give all the credit to him ,I sure was glad to see it
He proved that the Crest guitar(not the Gibson Crest) was made by the Harmony Guitar Co. for the Sears and Roebuck Co. in 1938 and he even sent in a link to a page in the 1938 Sears cataloge showing the Crest guitar, There were 3 pages on Crest guitars that were for sale so I sent off for all 3, I am hopeing that being able to read the fine print on the pages will tell us even more about them, if so I will pass this info on to you other Crest owners as well,
Just finding out that they wre made by Harmony gives us a whole new place to search, I want to find out the value on mine so I can insure it,
I sure hope this helps all of you that were having the same problem with your guitar, any info that you might have found out to add to this will surely be appreciated,I also have a Bently acustic that I bought roughly 25 years ago that I am finding out a little about here and there so if anyone has more info on it please pass it on, thanks, Don
