I had another response from an ebay member who sayed the following:

The pic is kinda small,but I can say it’s not a gibson,it looks like a Kay circa early to mid 1950’s.In great cond. worth about $200.00,if you can find a Kay fan that would care to pay that much,so no you didn’t miss out on much.A nice deal at $20.00 but they have a neck like a 4×4,gorillas can play them,hard on humans,have fun.

[quote=”1bassleft”]Hard to tell from that photo. It looks ’30s to ’40s and you do get some Gibsons with block markers and natural headstock but it could be anything. Worth investigating for $20 but don’t beat yourself up; could’ve been anything.[/quote]
