Default Need help identifying an old family guitar.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and would like to ask for some help.

I recently got this family heirloom guitar out of my Grandmother's basement. It was my Grandfather's guitar, but i dont know if he even played.

The headstock was broken when sometime in the late '60s or early 70s when my mom was very young.

I would like to see this guitar repaired, either do it myself or have a luthier do it, but i have no idea what the original headstock may have looked like.

It is stamped in the sound hole with Hayden.

The only information i can find regarding Hayden was it's a Gibson made guitar that was given another maker's name and sold through the distributor L.D. Heater out of Portland, OR in 1936. But that might not even be the history of this guitar.

Can anyone help shed some light on the situation? Or recommend a good place to continue looking.
