I have my childhood Fender King guitar. There is a neck plate with a serial number of 0150. I am looking for any information on the age and possibly it's worth. Inside says that it was manufactured in Anaheim CA. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The King was introduced in 1963 and renamed (Kingman) in 1965, so the guitar would be from that period - I don't thing a more accurate dating is possible.

If the guitar is in very good condition, and if you still have the original case, the price could rise to somewhere around 1500$.

Pics would be nice...

If it's worn off, it won't detract that much from the value. It's expected that most 50 year old instruments have wear.
If it has flaked off due to moisture or damage, and not wear, it will affect the price quite a bit more.
