It looks to be a budget build that's fairly old. It may have been something sold mail order through Sears or Montgomery ward in the late 60's early 70's. The picture quality isn't great so there aren't many revealing details other then the headstock which is going to be your main identifier.

If it was a build of any quality it would at least have a sticker inside. Toy guitars rarely had marking and were designed to be throw aways which is where most wound up when kids gave up learning how to play.

 

It may be one of the imports like Teisco or branded versions like Kay, Coral, Kiwi, Kingston, Greco, or any of a hundred others. Here's a list you can go through and try to find a picture of it. http://drowninginguitars.com/2012/02...and-name-game/

I did a little looking and found many similar but none with that angled headstock.

 

 

I don't think its Harmony either given the headstock.

A well focused close-up photo of the headstock that we can run contrast enhancement on to bring out any faded lettering might help

Also one of the "made in USA" to look at the fonts or any label decoration that people might recognize stylistically.

I agree with workmac on the "Sears or Teisco" arena
