  I own a '44 Cremona 2, with the wooden tailpiece. The label reads '43 but has '44 typed over the original number. If this helps you to verify the production run of the model, I'll be happy.

  I have one of these, it is stamped both S-39 and S-42?? It has the metal tailpiece and individual Kluson tuners, so I would have said it was pre-war. I am a vintage guitar dealer and this is my favourite guitar. Loud and very versatile. It is lighter built than other Cremona models and has a pressed spruce top, the mahogany back/sides give the tone a mellow touch. Mine is affectionately known as "Mona". If you are lucky enough to find one of these, they are worth taking to a luthier to get properly sorted.

  I have a cremonawith the inscripsion inside [CASACAMITE 12] also there is a small no. 45 and some unreadable marks next to it.It is a nice guitar no cracks. I paid 15$ for it at a fles market in Wis. I do like playing it, but I'm not very good.
