Swing an a miss I'm afraid.
It's a silvertone, which is basically a Danelectro. They were originally made for Sears (as were Teisco's, hence the similarity probably).

Check out the totally bonkers 'Case Amp' at the bottom. Would love to know what that sounded like.

The name was placed on guitars from several different manufacturers over the years, including Danelectro, National, Harmony, Kay, and Teisco. The guitars—especially the 1960s models—are prized by collectors today. One of the more well-known models is the Danelectro Silvertone 1448, made in the early to mid 1960s. The guitar's case had a small built-in amplifier and the guitar itself had a very short-scale 18-fret neck, which proved popular with beginners. Beck's main guitar is the Danelectro Silvertone 1448...

Silvertone was the brand name used by Sears for their line of musical instruments and sound equipment from the 1930s to 1972. Replacing the Supertone brand, Silvertone had already been the brand on Sears' radios and phonographs since 1915. Probably best known for their line of well made and inexpensive guitars, the brand became popular with novice musicians. Jerry Garcia, Rudy Sarzo, Chet Atkins, Bob Dylan, Garry Nutt John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Jack White, James Hetfield, Dave Grohl, Phil Keaggy, Mark Knopfler, Mikee Plastik, and countless others had a Silvertone for their first electric, bass, or acoustic guitar.

I love the old Silvertones, specially the hollow bodies. Posted one similar to this in the GAS thread. But this one even cooler. Check out the 1950's diner table trim for binding.... :headbang1:
