Guitars previously produced in Kalamazoo, MI during the 1930s and 1940s. See chapter on House Brands.
This Gibson-built budget line of guitars has been identified as a House Brand of the Tonk Bros. company of Chicago, IL. While built to the same standards as other Gibson guitars, these guitars lack the one true Gibson touch: an adjustable truss rod. House Brand Gibsons were available to musical instrument distributors in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Source: Walter Carter, Gibson Guitars: 100 Years of an American Icon.
