Harmony H165
Here is my Harmony H165 - Mahogany Acoustic flattop
H165 Production year(s) : 1944-1971 (other years possible, not verified)
All mahogany - The older models had a more rounded "figure eight" body (this newer body started in 1958). The truss-rod was added and no more Golden Clef Logo from 1968. The later models have a Stenciled Rosette around sound hole and are stamped H165-1.
(This information was learned from the Harmony database).
Mine has a truss-rod and no Clef Logo, so I am thinking at least a 1968, but it does not have the Stencilled Rosette around the sound hole, which I have seen on a 1970. So maybe a 68 or 69?
