    Hey Jon,
    Your H174 was Harmony's best in 1961
    They made only the H173 & H174 models from 1958 to 1966. 1957 was an odd year when they made the H173 ($59.50) and a H175 ($115.00) but that's not the H175 of later years.
    In 1961 the H174 was $85.00 and the blurb read:
    "Specially selected close-grained seasoned spruce top. Fan-rib construction for full resonance. Mahogany back and frame in rich brown polished finish. Mahogany neck. Spanish style Rosewood bridge. Inlaid soundhole. Top edge bound.
    1967: H173, H174, H175
    1968: H171, H173, H174, H175
    1969: H171, H173, H175, H177
    1970: H171, H173, H175, H177
    1971: H171, H172, H175, H177
    1972: All Gone
    You might think the H177 was Top of The Line but the H175 was. From 1967 to 1971 the H175 was $135. From 1969 to 1971 the H177 was $99.50
    Beautiful guitars and they are getting hard to find. Possibly the most overlooked guitar of that period because of all the relabelling work of cheap guitars they did for Kay, Stella, Silvertone, Fender, etc. Nevertheless their high end in-house models sound and play great. I have several and would never part with them.
    I think the Harmony, Guild and Martin have held up the best from the 1960's, a testament to their builders.
