Default What guitar is Blaze playing

Wondering if anyone knows what guitar Blaze Foley is playing in the clip.

I’d guess a 20s, or earlier, Martin 0-28 or 00-28.

Those were the models I was thinking. I know he was always playing or borrowing random guitars but wondered what this little guy is.

Friggin love blaze, I like to play and sing Rainbows and Ridges, so simple, but raw and meaningful.

MAYBE....maybe...

Blaze was pretty infamous for not having any money and "borrowing" his friends guitars....then pawning them ;-). For him to have something as expensive as a vintage Martin seems unlikely, but not impossible. Also not impossible for him to have a loaner for this video or during this time...whether he pawned it or not we may never know.

Not the guitar in question, but this is pretty funny:
