Vintage C. F. Martin Ukulele I believe to be1930-32, possibly a Style 2. I know nothing about this instrument and am only guessing based on internet research. Selling as is Ukulele due to damage. I will leave it up to the new owner to restore it.This came out of the estate of a 95 year woman.
Markings:- engraved C.F. Martin & Co. Nazareth, PA on the back top of the neck as well as inside the ukulele.- Inside the ukulele is the remains of a gold foil label ...from the Music Lovers Shoppe.- Music Lovers Shoppe sticker/label is on the front of the Ukulele. (this was a popular music shop in Rochester, which opened in 1918. The address on the label is 29-31 East Ave. I believe the store moved from that location in the 1940's or earlier.)
Condition:- Used, See photos for condition issues.- The back has a couple of cracks from the top to the bottom. There is NO missing pieces of wood and could easily be repaired. I will leave that to the new owner.- The previous owner had used scotch tape to keep it together, which I have removed.- Four strings are there, one loose, but not sure if original.- I am not sure if the wood is Rosewood or mahogany.
Please ask questions before bidding.
