Default Nylon string parlor

I’m looking for an old parlor that was made for nylon strings. Any brands you know of that were good? I see Bruno, Lyon Healy, etc from the 20s/30s, but most of those seem to be steel string. Would also love a Brazilian Rosewood back/sides.

I have a 1966 Martin nylon parlor guitar that sounds OK but can not compete in sonic color/tone/projection with the Japanese classical guitars I have from the late 60's.
One of my Japanese nylons is made of Brazilian rosewood. Now there is only one company that can produce guitars legally using this wood, internationally. I think it is Breedlove guitars on the West coast that bought out the entire stock of legal domain BR soundwood and are licensed to manufacture new products using it.
