New Member and Vintage Hallmark Owner

Postby Paul Trotter » Mon Feb 08, 2010 5:10 pm

Hi all,

I thought I'd join this community since I'm the proud owner of a Vintage Hallmark Swept-Wing. Story and pics here:

I live up in Alaska and work in the Oil & Gas Industry.

Thanks
Paul

Welcome to the forum, Paul. That's a nice Hallmark you have there, Looks like I have to brush up on my Hallmark history as I didn't know they made the Swept Wings back then.

Thanks Austin.

From what I've heard they made less than 50 of them... but don't quote me on it.

Welcome to the forum.

We have another member on the forum that is Alaska also. The Mosrite/Hallmark is a small niche among guitars aficionados and I doubt there are many in Alaska. You are the second one from there to join the forum since it started.

Welcome aboard Paul. Out of the fifty originals made, I'd be curious
on just how many of these were made with 'your gold metal flake finish.'
make the Mos' of it, choose the 'rite stuff.
