This “paint splatter” finish was directly applied to the wooden cabinet and termed “two tone” in Rick catalogs. It seems to have appeared on some models from 1955 through 1957 and then disappeared. The handle on this model was a rubber/latex strap, the ends of which were inserted into slots in the top of the cab instead of being bolted to the top; missing back panel.. This was billed as a “student” amp or one for steel guitar.
