I had to add this shot of my G5120 that I just bought. I know it's an inexpensive guitar, and the amp is an old piece of crap, but I love 'em both. Paul, notice the handle. I had to play with it a little bit, but it works great. I owe you, man...
This is a '55 Roundup on E-bay that's a perfect match for my amp...it has the belt buckle and studded leather belting all around the sides but there's no way I could afford the $11,499 price tag...check this out...
If you'll notice, the belt buckle and the belting is the same as on my old 'Cowboy'. I think it's a perfect match. Whoever buys the guitar should have the amp to go with it. I guess I'd let it go, too, if someone was crazy enough to want it...but, man, what a great old axe!
Matched set, eh? Gorgeous old Gretsch survivor and a crappy old amp...
 

My old Gretsch 6169 Cowboy. Is that really what they called them? I just heard that somewhere.

This is what I got from http://gretschpages.com/amplifiers/6161-electromatic-early :

"Like most Gretsch amps, the 6161 styling changed several times: first there was the original Electromatic style, with wraparound grill, a porthole for the tweeter, and a cream plastic handle. This type was in production from approximately 1955 to 1958.

The second Electromatic style became one of Gretsch's most recognized and best loved amps. With twin elliptical speakers and an angled wraparound grill, nothing else looked or sounded quite like it. This style had an enlarged wraparound grill, slightly different Tolex covering and a black handle and was in production from about 1958 to 1962.

The 6169 Electromatic was offered in the '50s, alongside the nearly identical 6161. What set the 6169 apart was style: cream tolex covering with western themed leather trim, a steer's head silkscreened on the speaker grill, and, to cap it all off, a "belt buckle" emblem Gretsch also used on some guitars. "

Not much of the steer's head remains but you can still see it if you look closely. It does have the elliptical speakers, though.

I just put $250.00 in this amp. It only needed a couple of tubes (ain't cheap), the power light socket, some other stuff I can't remember, and a good cleaning. The guy who did it said the speakers sounded like they needed re-coned. When I got it back I cranked it up and it sounds great. All three channels work and, well, it sounds just like it did when my dad played his red Silvertone big body Gretsch copy through it when I was a kid.

Everything works just like it should on this amp. It even comes complete with cigarette burns and the wear you get from years of being moved around from smoky bars to Vets' Clubs, Grange halls and church basements.
