We don't have an exact birthday, but it was made in 1921. She bought it from Don Skuce about 30 years ago.

Sure does Derick . It seems fine with XL strings too. She used Silk & Steel for a couple of changes, but they seemed to go dead very quickly. Maggie had a D-18 when we first met, but she's less than 5'1" and she needed something smaller. She does pick up one of my dreadnoughts occasionally, but she's happy with this one.

She had a 1928 OO-18 in the eighties, but sold it to Susan Crowe.
Here it is:
