The guitar in the upper left corner next to the yellow lab (Ruby) and the black lab (Jack) is a Ray Whitley Recording King guitar made by Gibson Guitar in 1940 for the Montgomery Ward department store chain. Only several hundred of these guitars were made and very few are left today. It originally sold for about $25.00 and today is valued at more than $8,000.00. This guitar has been in our family for over 50 years and was the instrument that started our journey into and love of collecting rare and unique guitars and mandolins.

You can "play" the Ray Whitley at this link:

The Ray Whitley will stay in our family and is not for sale, however, Jack and Ruby want us to sell some other musical instruments from our collection so that there might be more funds for dog bones, special doggie treats and toys. So please look at our instruments for sale by clicking on the guitar below. Hope you enjoy seeing pictures of our family --- including children and grandchildren --- playing these great instruments.
