This looks like an old OO-28 or O-28 to me. The iveroid binding, herringbone rosette and purfling and (I'm guessing) Brazilian back and sides make it a style 28.

-1962 Martin D-21
-1950 Gibson LG1
-1958 Goya M-26
-1974 Yamaha FG75 high strung
-A number of banjos, mandolins, Autoharps, ukuleles, dulcimers, mouth harps, a Tele clone and various other stuff.
-I own a fiddle, but only play it when Maggie and the cats are all out of the house.

A very interesting item for "Goodwill" ... usually they have slightly lesser known brands up for bid. Still, it will be bid up to some fairly ridiculous number by the time all is said and done. Pretty much every auction for a guitar that I've followed on Goodwill ended with the instrument going for more than it was worth, and the jump usually happens right near the end of the bidding.

I watch ShopGoodwill daily. There is LOTS of junk!! Most of them aren't worth the cost of shipping. I've picked 3 vintage Yamaha's for decent prices. Got lucky, as usual.

Here's another insane one. Gibson Humming Bird Acoustic Guitar w/Hard Case

Gibson ended at $3000 and jumped $1k in one bid (then another $1k at the end).

Martin nearly doubled just today from $1300 to $2500 with 4-5 days to go.

Amazing! I mean, who ever "bedazzled" the top of that Gibson ought to be arrested ... and who ever paid $3K for it in that shape ought to be committed ... Just my opinion. Wow!

Someone posted about it on the AGF. I used to watch the Goodwill site as well but yes mostly junk. There are many brands/models I have never heard of.
