Think the Kay ThinTwin was first to have Silvertone name stamped in the early fifties,Kay and Silvertone marketed the same or very similair guitar,ugly brute as well.
Think but not 100% sure the re-issues are Chinese built.They are not exactly goin all out on advertising eh.
I was looking at the odd Italian guitars and found this one with a shark bite out of the body-no cigar but it's still funny..

I think the guitar in the vid go the spot for colour - white suits, white gits, white piano etc.
The head is almost danelectro though isn't it.
Heit & Woolworths were also badges the of MIJ guitars went under. Some excellent guitars though. Ebay is selling that era for $500 or more - partly silliness partly some fine guitars.
