Just posted photos of probably the last configuration of the Premier Wood Rim. Because of the dark stained Maple and Chrome plated hardware my guess is it dates to the 1930's. The Maple rim has a bevelled top and brass rod tone ring.. Tuner buttons appear to be some type of plastic possibly Bakelite. It's a fine surviving example and player.
