Made a trip to London guitars earlier this week and came across a used Martin SSC-D35-14 Acoustic. It's not vintage but if you are looking for a collector this one is 13 of 47 made and is the Canadian tribute model.
London Guitars: Martin SSC-D35-14 Acoustic Guitar #13 of 47 w/ Hardshell Case - Used

It plays and feels like you would expect from a well crafted Martin.

The red is less pronounced in person. Not a clown burst. 🤡
It has a lovely neck carve that is almost identical to my 1958 J50. They got this one right.
