The 614 / 632 series was built by Harmony, and introduced in late 1953 (its much rarer blonde sibling, the 634 came along at the model number change in mid-'58). It remained the mid-range guitar throughout its seven-year lifespan; its distinction in the Silvertone line was the 'snowflake' stenciled fret markers. It shared the 'peaked' shape (if not the color) pickguard of the popular 600 series, the 'best' flattop in the Sears lineup at the time. Top edge binding, a brass-inlaid wood bridge, and decorative tailpiece rounded out this solid middle-of-the-road package.
