One of the more ubiquitous e-mando builders through the decades has been the Kay factory of Chicago, which built under many brand names, including its own. Production ceased sometime in the 1970s, I think, but it still isn't that hard to find a Kay—although not all of them are in good condition like this one.
     This, I believe, is a Kay "Venetian" model from the 1950s. Lipstick tube pickup, fancy pickguard. Good condition; original chipboard case included. See more photos, call 425/772-0231, or for more information. 48-hour approval period. $400 plus shipping.
