Here is one.

I had one of these, and it really wasn't very good. Mine was a laminated body, bolt on neck that kept coming loose, but oh my, so beautiful. Great electric guitar, lousy acoustic guitar. Epiphone and Gibson both made smaller body instruments in the later forties and fifties, some with flat backs, usually pressed or laminated tops and backs, as entry level instruments. Now Steve Anderson makes his Little Archie model, but it, while a smallish body, is not very deep. There seems to be a ratio of size to depth with archtops where a deep body doesn't work very well. http://www.andersenguitars.com/model/little-archie/

I own a 1930s Kay Kraft round soundhole archtop.
Epiphones recent Masterbilt line includes 16" round soundhole models. Loar also makes them but I do not have a clue as to the specs.
