Embedding the pic for ya...

A quick search lead me to discover this was almost certainly made by Harmony out of Chicago in the early 1940s, and sold under the brand Buegeleisen & Jacobson (B&J). However, it looks like there were quite a variety of stenciling patterns, and I didn't find a match on this one. There are almost certainly few of them left in circulation.

Should be all birch construction. If it's still all original, and in reasonable condition, it might be worth having a reputable luthier take a look... it could be worth something to the right collector.

Here is a link with a similar model (same headstock) - https://www.justguitars.com.au/vinta...itar-1942/358/
