Default Old Gibson model number and dating

My friend has a friend of his old Gibson. She thinks it is from the 1930's.

It doesn't say a model number but it looks like an LG1.

Stamped inside where the neck meets the body is 011834 L4. There is another small code(don't remember it) right below the soundhole were a manufucturer label is on new guitars.

Tuners say deluxe on them.

Any idea how to find out what model and year this is and it's value?

My friend put electric strings on there....LOL. But it sounds pretty good even with those. It is a smaller body guitar, pickguard is lifted, saddle is worn and so aren't pin holes. Needed tooth picks to lock in the E string. Tuners aren't in the best of shape.

Cool little guitar though.
