Based on construction, finish and label, it is likely a Framus 5/1-50 Amateur or a very closely related model from the 1960s. The model designation is provided to the best of our knowledge, but without warranty on the exact name.
The guitar impresses with its decorative vintage appearance featuring a classic sunburst finish, distinctive Framus headstock, open tuners, zero fret, pickguard, and the small parlor/salon body shape typical of that era.
Approx. dimensions:
Scale length: ~62.5 cm
Nut width: ~4.2 cm

Signs of age and use, scratches, finish markings and patina are present and emphasize the authentic character of this vintage instrument. Overall, a moodful collectible with charming appeal.
