These 'Stratotone'-based Silvertones were from our friends at 'H
Co.' That's the name that would sometimes appear on Sears boxes to try
and disguise the fact that they were in fact, Harmony made guitars.

The 1326, 1327,
1420 and 1421are
all Stratotone-derived axes from Harmony. The 132X series was a nice 'shaded
sunburst' available in 1 or two p/u models with a brief window of availability
that makes them quite a bit more rare than their siblings, the
more widely available 1420 and 1421. These were two-pickups
guitars
available in black and 'shaded walnut.' In today's collectors market, 1420
models abound... the 1421, 1326 & 1327... not so much.
