Condition is always important when buying vintage. Make sure you play it and are aware of the condition and the cost of any needed repairs or it can make what was a happy purchase into a more expensive than planned frustration.
That said, a vintage guitar can be a real source of joy.
I also think the recommendation of checking out the Epiphone Mastebuilt archtops is a really good idea too.
Enjoy the hunt and let us know what you wind up with.
