Now then Terry !! Nice hummingbird is a statement of truth !!Humming birds are well recognised for their big sound, like all dreadnoughts. I've got a Dove artist cutaway but it aint for sale. Always wanted a hummingbird (beautiful guitars) since playing one in the late 60's but got the best of both worlds with the electro acoustic dove.

really does depend on the amount of money you wish to spend. But boy and old vintage Alavarez is normally pretty sweet and inexpensive

Is there no brand-name, no lettering at all, at the top of the headstock?

If not, there might be a paper label pasted to the inside of the soundbox, visible through the soundhole. Get back to us if you learn anything. I, for one, am curious....
