1963-64 Silvertone 1448 with Amp in Case - Black SparkleDanelectro manufactured Silvertone-branded guitars between, roughly, 1962 and 1968 for the American Sears, Roebuck & Co. department stores and mail order catalogue.The guitars were sold as a set, complete with the ‘amp-in-case’, described as an inexpensive ‘all?in?one’ solution for beginners, which proved highly successful for Sears. The amp’s electronics and speaker were cleverly integrated into the surprisingly slim and easy-to-carry guitar case. While not the first or last appearance of a combination package, the guitar and ‘amp?in?case’ was an ingenious innovation for the American mass market from over half a century ago.The capacitors and tubes have all been replaced and all the electronics cleaned and checked. Works great!
