This guitar was likely built at
close to the same time as the Tigerwood Martin and Coupa above
but with three differences. It is a smaller "Terz"
guitar. It was built with a bird's eye maple veneer over
mahogany rather than Goncoa Alves. And it has a single
Martin, New York stamp in place of the Martin & Coupa label.
The Terz is a small guitar, still made by Martin today, and made
popular more recently by Marty Robbins.

While this guitar was build at
approximately the same time as the Martin & Coupa, the
Martin & Coupa label was used only on guitars distributed
from New York by John Coupa while Martin was also selling a
smaller number of guitars directly from the workshop at their
new home in Cherry Hill, Pennsylvania.
