Guest Pete - May 09. The answer to your question is YES. I have one which I bought in the 1960's, brand new for I think £27, which was a lot of money around '68. It's a sunburst finish, jumbo shaped, with a tortoise-shell pickguard, rosewood neck, logo on the headstock as you described.
It's a bit battered and scabby, 'cause it's been left lying around without a case all this time, but I've only ever used it in the house, since I played bass mostly until 5-6 years ago. I actually bought a gig bag for it a few months ago after all these years. It has a great neck, but the tuning heads are very stiff. Tone isn't too bad either.
