1945 Harmony flat tops and archtops had wooden tailpieces. When i took off the tailpiece it revealed this star design. I have a Harmony book that shows this motif of red white and blue stars in a circle and a big red white and blue Uncle Sam's hat. All that remains of the design is under the tailpiece.
