1945 Framus Parlor Acoustic in Seattle area for $300

Nice little Framus that looks all original - though I don't see how they could still have been making guitars in Bavaria in 1945 (didn't we blow up every German factory by that point in the war?) but probably somewhere around that time. Looks like a very well crafted vintage instrument.

Update on guitar 12-29-09:
The original maker of this guitar was a violin maker back in the 1920's.
He started making guitars back in the 1940's
This guitar was made in 1945, Made in Bavaria
I was told not to take no lower than $300.00 for this guitar because it is an original.
Made with the back round like a violin and not flat like guitars are originally made today.
Does have some scratches, but otherwise in great condition. ( $300.00 or best offer )
