Guitar - General/Martin Guitar

Question
I have a ?3/4 size Martin acoustic guitar at least 50 years old. How do I determine its age and worth?

Answer
You have a couple options. First, and probably best, is to take it to a local guitar shop. Vintage guitar shops are better, but a place like Guitar Center would be good, too.
Second, if you feel comfortable determining the condition of the car on your own, you can find comparable ones on like at places like ebay.com and see what the going rate there is.
I would offer to check, but without having the guitar in front of me, it's hard for me to gauge.
Hope this helped!
