Default Help identify old Harmony Guitar

Hello,
I don't think it is worth anything.
Just given to me by a friend and I would like to put some strings on it and give it back.
I cannot find a model or serial number anywhere.
Seems to me something is missing for the bridge?
Thanks!

Looks like it needs a saddle and a trapeze tailpiece

Cheap generic trapeze tailpiece

The saddle will look like this and go in the bridge slot. You could make one out of plastic, wood or bone or find one in a music store. A classical saddle is probably correct for this guitar.

I would spend as little as possible on that guitar, it may be a wall hanger. Get the lightest cheap strings you can find.

Yeah, thanks. The guy is old and disabled. I will probably do nothing with it.
Wall hanger is a good idea.
