Interesting guitar. Except for the staggered tuners and the fretboard end curving around the sound hole, it's a Regal. Maybe a copy? Unlikely to want to reproduce that fancy inlay around the sound...
I've haven't seen a Regal in a performance setting on Youtube. Jake, at Antebellum has very good recordings of a number of Regals. Very accurate representation of how they sound. Jake also uses DGBE...
I love my Regal. 21" scale is great for CGDA, less so for GDAE, but I didn't do a lot of research as far as string gauges for that tuning. Mine is spruce and mahogany and often is the loudest...

It's a baritone. The saddest of all ukuleles.
I tune my Regal tenor 21inch scale down a whole tone and capo at the second fret. Shorter scale, tension is not as high and it sounds great. I also often play without the capo making it in Bflat....
The great tenor banjo and guitarist Eddie Davis has posted a bunch of new videos of him playing a new tenor guitar which he calls the Dredge. A couple of them explain the name. It's a very small (17"...
My Regal which I tune CGDA had heavier strings and was tuned GDAE when I bought it. It sounded good but not as good as in C tuning. The Fletcher Tenortone looks about the same size as the Regal, is...
The Kay looks nice. I like mahogany topped guitars. The Stella is almost certainly an all birch ladder braced Harmony. Not in the same league as the Kay.
Judging by the label I'd say it's quite a bit older than 1950's. 30's or 40's. I've only seen the 1960's version of this and it's okay. This one looks very nice. Apart from the crack, it should be...
