I recently inherited this one-piece aluminum laptop, Gibson's first electric guitar (Model E-150), and a 1930s OAHU laptop as well. Supposedly, here were only 98 produced. Serial numbers started at 110 in 1935 and production went to early 1936. This one is SN 159. Some were scrapped for salvage during WWII. This was Gibson’s first bar magnet pickup, later nicknamed the Charlie Christian. The D-string tuner has been replaced, and the G-string tuner has a broken peg-shaft, but it works fine, sounds great.
