As you can see from the pictures here, there were two
flavors of this amp out there, the Silvertone branded model and one with a
Harmony brand. Danelectro wasn't fully on the scene yet, and Lectrolab was probably more than happy to
job these amps out to the biggest department store and catalog sales institution
in the world at the time.
As was common for many
Sears-offered products, the Silvertone brand was applied to another
manufacturers' product. This was true of literally thousands of
products from 1916-1972.
There was also a model 1303 listed in the years 1948 and '49.
The main difference between the 1300 and the 1303 was the addition of 'built-in
vibrato.' According to catalog illustrations, it was actually labeled
vibrato, rather than tremolo, which is a more accurate description of the
effect. This 'organ-like' effect didn't come without a price; the 1303 was $20
more than the 1300, coming in at $85.50
