Vintage Silvertone Electric Guitars
Silvertones were guitars sold by Sears but manufactured by five main companies: Danelectro, Harmony, National-Dobro (Supro/Valco), Kay, and Teisco. These companies were called "jobbers" because they were contracted (jobbed out) to make guitars for Sears.
In most cases the Silvertone guitars manufactured for Sears were identical to models sold directly by the other manufacturers with only a logo or color change. Therefore, you can pick up a Silvertone guitar and know that in many cases it's as good as the more expensive manufacturers brand.

The early Silvertone electric guitars were made by Harmony and Danelectro, with a few exceptions. The other US-based manufacturers were from Chicago Harmony (formerly owned by Sears), National-Dobro (Supro/Valco) and Kay. The only other manufacturer of Silvertones during this period was the Japanese-based company, Teisco and they made some of the wildest designs for Silvertones.
