Antique acoustic guitars!

Anyone got any nice ones? I sold my oldest one to Octatonic but I do like old guitars.

This is my favourite at the moment, its a nylon strung Ritmüller (Göttingen) parlour guitar from round 1927 (not mega old).

I like the interesting headstock, not sure if it  was originally peg tuned (supposedly it was and then later modified for gear tuners then put back to peg tuners) but I'm not 100% sure and I have really researched it.
