Anybody have any idea of how to assess age? There’s no serial number or anything.
I was going to add photos but don’t know how.

My very first guitar, back in 1970 or so, was an Egmond archtop. It really wasn’t very good, but it looked cool, and I didn’t know any better - and it, too, cost me about £20. I believe they were Dutch in origin.
If you search online, you’ll find lots of pictures, but I don’t recall ever finding a comprehensive model history anywhere. I’d expect that yours is probably of similar vintage to mine.
