The 1341 amplifier was one of the first of what I've 
come to call a one-cycle amp; it 
existed for only one major catalog cycle, and was never seen again. This one was 
interesting because it previewed the alligator/tweed trim combo from the 
upcoming 133X series, introduced in the next catalog in Spring/Summer 1954. 
Speaking of the catalog listing, I passed over this lone listing seen at left as 
just another 1340 listing, until I found pictures of the 1341 you see in the 
grass. Upon further examination, voila... another oddball, and rare, Silvertone 
amp.
Introduced/Retired:
Spring/Summer 1954 at $39.95
as the 57 H 01341
 


Even though this amp had a brief availability window, it was 
the shape of things to come on the low end, as well as in the mainstream of the 
upcoming 133X line. Dano took the rounded cabinet look and the smaller speaker 
'window' and made it a bit less decorative (read cheaper) and came up 
with the long-running 1330 series, available in 1954.
