Model · Martin
A Martin acoustic, introduced 1931[1, 2]. Built on the Martin USA (Nazareth) line.
The dreadnought shape dates to 1916 (Ditson-branded, fan-braced); guitar.com says Martin fully incorporated it into its own line in 1931, which is the year used here.

The eras of the Martin USA (Nazareth) line in the years this model was made. No end year is on record, so the last row runs as far as the line does. The model rides on its line: when the owner or the plant changed, it changed for this model too.
