Since 1945 this model remained relatively unchanged right up to the 1970s and was several generations' first student guitar. In the same year, this model's slight model-number predecessor became available under the Stella name (note that the Oscar Schmidt Stella instruments are entirely different beasts). In 1939 (correct me if I'm wrong) Harmony bought out Oscar Schmidt and brought the OS brand names (Stella, Sovereign, La Scala, etc.) under their own umbrella. In fact, I know I've recently seen a number of younger touring musicians using these and similar all over the place. All solid birch, flattop, ladder braced, sturdy, simple - and when actually setup properly - not a bad playing or sounding little instrument at all. Ah, yes, the everyman's model H929 "Stella" branded parlor-ish sized student guitar.
