The Oahus keep coming! Craig submits a 1949 Oahu Comet, which seems to be identical to its Supro counterpart. This amp still has its warranty card and spare fuse - a rare find!
Warranty card: Page 1, Page 2.
I have acquired a 1941-42 Oahu 397K. At $62.50, this amp was in the middle of the Oahu line at the time, and it was intended as a compliment to the Islander Hawaiian electric guitar.
Ron submits an English Electronics/Tonemaster amp. I don't have any model name info for Tonemaster guitars or amps, but this appears to be identical to a Supro 1610 Comet.
Mike J submits a 1947 National of an indeterminate model. It has a 12" Jensen field coil speaker, the early post-war two-tone control panel and a screen across the back to keep bugs out of those warm spaces.
He also submits a 1956 1224 Tremo-Tone - the early version, with octal preamp tubes.
