Default Can't ID my Yamaha's serial number

I purchased a Yamaha acoustic G-170A in Okinawa about 1965-1967. I'm unable to identify the instrument on the internet and hope you can help.

Five images attached: Image (1) guitar head, Yamana Tuning Fork Trademark (TFT)
Serial Number: 1106328
All printing on label (light tan) is in gold. Image (2)

Image (2) Internal label (inside, bottom):
Image (3) at top right of label is a logo(?)on label shown in image (2) -that's the best drawing I can manage :-) the numbers at bottom of this logo are - 9202 - I can verify the first three, but the last "2" is a best guess.
Rest of label:
A design (slightly darker tan) covers the oval center area of the label, but I cannot make out much of it. The label gold letters read:
1st Line -- (TFT) YAMAHA
2nd line -- G-170A
3rd line -- Nippon Gakki Co. LTD.

Image (4) location of serial number
Image 5) full guitar body and neck

Thanks in advance for your input. Jachor

I've read every FAQ and instruction I could find and am still unable to upload images.

Exactly what are you trying to identify about your Yamaha G-170A classical nylon string guitar that you bought in/around 1965 to 1967 in Okinawa?

This AGF thread may be helpful. The thread indicates the guitar was made from 1969 -1972 and was top of the line in that series. I also see some have sold on Reverb.
