I have a little bit of luthier history that I found interesting.
Thought that this could be amusing for some of you. Can you guess the
month/year this price list was published and who it came from? Oh those prices!!

Well, it actually has the name Overholtzer in the ad, so I'd guess Arthur Overholtzer, and probably circa 1966.

[quote=ToddStock]looks like an LMI (or forerunner company) price list based on the part numbers and organization.[/quote]

Very good. It was the Canadian company (Bill Lewis) started then sold to Todd Taggart.I did find the prices amusing. Thanks for playing
