I might not be telling you anything you don't already know, but it looks like a Gretsch Country Club.
Gretsch still exists as a brand, and while I don't think they make that model any more, they do make a lot of "retro" models -- both reissues of the classics of the '50s and '60s and some "neo-retros" that never existed back then but look as if they could have. They have several lines of varying prices, depending on which Asian country they're made in: Japan, China, or Indonesia, in descending order.
However, if you want an American-made Gretsch from the early '60s, such as the one you see there, you'll have to look harder and pay more. And if you want the one that Howard Roberts played behind Shelley Fabares on The Donna Reed Show, well ...
(I'm pretty sure, it's Howard Roberts, even though he was more of a Gibson guy than a Gretsch guy. He played on the recording, and it really looks like him.)
Well, it wasn't THAT long ago. I was in my early 30s (ok, it WAS that long ago) and working for a Piper dealership at an airport. Johnny was a pilot for an oil company and used to walk through the FBO every now and then. Soooo hot. I dated several guys from the FBO but Johnny never seemed remotely interested. Sigh. I still think about him when I hear the song.
Thanks for posting this. I'd never seen that. Guess I must've been brain dead in 1962. 
(Actually, my fundie parents prohibited popular music. Sad but true.)
She's been married to Mike Farrell for some time now.
I remember her Aunt Nanette - shows how old we are! Didn't Nanette have a hearing deficit?
She and Mike seem well suited for each other - both kind, liberal people.
Nanette always held her pinky up? I am not familiar with sign language? I am 58, truth be told.
Many people think they are stupid because of some learning disability. (I've had personal experience with that phenomena.)
Nanette is a most admirable person. Hope she makes it to 100yo. 
Nanette really is admirable and honorable, I could not get math, I used to cry at a very young age, I just did not get it. I could do basic math, anything beyond that I was lost. Fractions really sent me into a tizzy. 
You, too.
