No, it's about (probably slightly more than) 1/4" plywood, 
mahogany, incomparable Storytone, one each, and it ain't gonna 
crack - EVER, regardless of the number of 50 year assessment 
intervals It's weathered since it's geneses. At least the 
sticker, unlike the Aeolian "American Craftsman" classic 
probably wasn't falling off, which should be good for 
something. Be brave, and try to CYA with disclaimers as you 
attempt to install the impression of a playable instrument in 
it, and in it's owner. There aren't any real rules here. It 
is, after all, incomparable.
