Leilani MOTS Lap Steel and Amp in Spokane WA - Maybe a Deal?

The seller isn't listing a price on this pair but if you could get them both for $300 total that would be a nice deal.  This Leilani Brand ios most likely a Dickerson Product - they were the company that became Magnatone years later.  I do think the Dickerson Bros.  made theier amps and lap steels in Los Angeles circa 1950.  That "Gourley" name and address may have been a distributor or even a music shop at the time.
