  Mine is a Silvertone, but marked inside body as H605, a little darker around the edges of the sunburst-otherwise the same with the newer of the two Silvertone logos at the headstock. Neck is round and full like a 50's Gibson. Attacking low strings with pick nearer the bridge fires off reverberating low-end strong cracking bass notes. No guitar in the music store can compare in volume or tone, dreadnaught or otherwise!

  Just found on at the local pawn shop ($25). Mine also is branded H605 and looks nearly the same as the middle four photos. This guitar really hums with an almost electric sound - the nearest comparison I can think of is a wooden dobro sound. Just a very different tone - a nice "bark" but with depth and sustain.
