The guitar has great sound through my '64 Princeton! same case as yours, with blue plush interior the body wood appears to be pine is this typical for an early Champion? Impressive find! The lack of a serial number is a mystery. I have never heard of a Champion that did not have a serial number. In the Fender video about his signature Telecaster G.E. Smith talks about and plays his "1948" Champion and mentions its serial number ("22"!). So even the very early Champions do have a serial number. But apparently some left the Fullerton factory without getting stamped with one. Maybe your Champion started out as a demonstration model made for trade fairs or sales personnel? Some say the rare blue Champions were made for presentation purposes, but the blue Champions I have seen did have serial numbers! Confusing.

Unfortunately there is no real documentation of Champion serial numbers (or the lack thereof).
