I must stand corrected, I always believed that Mr levin had worked for the Martin company. My 'Dreadnaught' certainly has got the metal truss rod cover with '1900' on it. (I used to own a 70's Goliath with just a plain plastic cover.)
My late friend, who left me the guitar in his will, had the varnish removed (and the pick guard)from the front but I do remember it originally having a sunburst finish. The model type has faded from the label but the serial no, from the head-stock, is 398826. It is quite light in weight when compared to other makes of Dreadnaught style guitars and it is extremely loud. I simply love this instrument!
