Guitars shown below were made by Harmony and sold under the Marvel brand. It doesn't mean that all Marvel guitars were made by Harmony.

• Acoustic archtop

• Deluxe (1938) - Deluxe - Acoustic archtop - Mahogany -  19 Stamped H1406 as the Harmony Patrician H1406 model. Later model "Deluxe model M" looks a bit different, with simplified bindings. - (based on Harmony H1406)

• Deluxe Model M (1939-1940) - Deluxe Model M - Acoustic archtop - Sunburst -  10 All mahogany body - Could compare to a Harmony H1403 Patrician, "extra auditorium size". One was seen stamped H1436, another H1437 or is it a typo ? - (based on Harmony H1403)

• Model B (1940) - Marvel "B" - Acoustic archtop - Sunburst -  7 "Grand Auditorium" size. Looks like a Harmony Cremona II but with a Marvel headstock - (based on Harmony H1302)

• Model C (1940) - Marvel "C" - Acoustic archtop - Sunburst -  7 "Grand Auditorium" higher end model, spruce top, black pickguard with a wide shape and white trim.

• Leader (1940-1943) - Leader - Acoustic archtop - Sunburst -  4 Wooden marquetry bindings, the closest model in the Harmony line seems to be the Marquise H1390. The wooden tailpiece was used during wartime. - (based on Harmony H1390)
