Information: 

Airline Guitars were originally made in the USA from 1958-68 by VALCO in Chicago and sold through Montgomery Ward. Valco merged with Kay in the 1960s but soon went out of business and the Airline brand was discontinued in 1968. The Airline brand was resurrected by Eastwood Guitars in 2001, who make recreations of the sought after VALCO Airline guitars in three different factories in Korea and China.
