Help me identify this vintage flamen...

After owning this guitar for a couple of years I am very curious about the maker as I have never seen a flamenco guitar with this inlaid head that matches the rosette. My story is simply that I bought it from Goodwill in Orange County CA at their online auction. It was being sold as "old wooden guitar", had a couple of lousy, small, out-of-focus pictures, no case, no description at all. My keen eye identified it as a flamenco guitar and I decided it was probably worth buying. There were a couple of other observant bidders out there, but I owned it for only $91 plus shipping. It came in and is certainly a flamenco guitar, tuning machines were broken and brittle from age, no label inside the guitar, looked like it had been sitting for 30 years or more. I stripped off tuners and remaining strings, removed about 1/32 oz of very old weed from the inside (not kidding, I bought weed from Goodwill), cleaned it up with a little lemon oil and weighed it in at 1170 grams, or 2 pounds 9.3 ounces. I am learning to play on this guitar, I love the enormous sound in my smallish apartment with 9 foot tall ceilings. I have never thought about parting with it, but I am curious about what it is. Can anyone help?
