As is obvious, this is a fool's errand. But am wondering, has anyone got a firm idea when the Stradolins with the comma shaped F holes were made? From searching the Cafe have seen mid 1930's and 1935/36 quoted. Have already had a couple friends ask about mine and that's the best I could offer.
While earlier ads might help as mentioned in the thread on the Sorkin catalog, they used old copy at least until the 1950's.
My latest for reference -
