This auction is for a set of two reproduction prints of the drawings that Oliver Jespersen (aka Jess Oliver) submitted to the United States Patent office on July 27, 1962. The final patent was issued on May 11, 1965 and was assigned to Ampeg Company, Inc.

If you've read this far, you probably already appreciate where this amplifier stands in the legacy of musical instrument design and its contribution to popular music. What you may not be aware of is that Jess Oliver is still in the amp business and can be found right here on eBay!

Be sure to check his eBay items for sale. I've seen him snap-up vintage B-15 and B-18 Portaflex amps here on eBay and I'm guessing that they are not for his personal use and that they will end up for sale along with the incredible models he has built in his own shop. Owning one of these babies would be like having a vintage Precision Bass that had been tweaked by Leo Fender himself!

Getting back to the present auction...

There are two separate patent drawings included in this auction and each will be provided on artist quality, acid-free, 60-pound parchment style paper as shown above.

Prints are 8.5" by 11.0" (21.6 by 27.9 cm) in size and are ready to frame for display.

They are packaged in archive-safe, acid-free sleeves and shipped flat in a stiffened mailer to ensure safe arrival.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed

It's not possible to illustrate the quality of these prints on a web page!

These are the finest available reproductions of the original patent drawings. They are prepared using documents that I personally obtained from the United States Patent Office that I have painstakingly restored to ensure gallery-grade image quality.

If for any reason you are not happy with these prints, return them to me and I will refund the amount of your winning bid. Check my feedback; these prints really are great!

I combine shipping on multiple print set orders: Additional print sets ship FREE!

Free shipping for each additional eligible item you buy from guitarpatents!
