Have you already looked at the country of manufacture ?
Look at the inside label...
It was South Korea !  Most all 'guitar guys' know that the best maker of the older guitars was in Korea... and Samick is still in South Korea making guitars for major brands ... and as well...   Jin-Ho is making tuning machines and there are the famed ARTEC pickups also made in S. Korea ... All are top-notch !

This is a very affordable and well set-up and cleaned and adjusted classical from the 'old days'. The strings are put on correctly and the string/fret gap at fret 12 is 4 MM... just about perfect and the nut is smoothed and slots cut just enough to make for low and comfy action ! There was no truss rod  in older, true classical guitars.

As a casual classical, this one is tough to beat. My favorites are the old Yamahas made in Taiwan... but they cost more  ! So make your choice... Part of the top of this one was polished clean (it is NOT pump/spray cleaner) with the thinned 'toothpaste' type real cleaner that is rubbed in and then off with a soft rag...  You can do the rest of the top and top side if you want, but all the real setup work is done. 

The rosette was taken off and the body is in good shape, but the good news is NO cracks or real damage anywhere. Tuners are nearly new ordinary ones and smooth. No case, but well-packed with string tension let down so you can see the correct way to install classical strings. Free tip: get light tension (clear trebles) strings for a snappier and clearer sound and save money as well as get a 'lighter' feel... I did that and it does make a big difference. As a casual classical, this older one from S. Korea is very tough to beat... it's easy to buy and in good mechanical shape.
