It's a Supertone.
Not really a "bargain" in the condition it is presently in.
Needs a neck reset, at the very least, and probably a whole lot more.
The amateurish crack repair really devalues the guitar.
As per the seller: "I can see what appears to be maybe some fiberglass or something that has been applied to the inside of the sides" - yeeeesh.

Ye, had n° T457 National Trojan (1934) in its "pristine" condition, hopefully my good friend Mike Lewis from "Fine-Resophonic" guitars made a neck reset on it which was a nightmare... Sold it since. Shame that guitar had his true vintage 1934 cone. Which is the most important in this case. These guitars were cheap at those time, lowest price, never forget it! Not tri-cones (top of the range)... Supertone are really the worse.

I got my 30's flat-top parlor with f holes from this seller- he was good to deal with and shipped immediately but I feel he understated how dirty the guitar was (Ewww _ I wore gloves!) and perhaps the extent of the separation on the bottom. Fortunately for me the finish was in good enough shape to clean and keep it.
I think he has some fixer up values of the type that I like and I would deal with him again but I would pay attention as he gets them in various states. I think he tries to point out what he sees whereas some ebay people have really decrepit wares and try to sell it as character.
