    Description

    This is an amazing ukulele in amazing condition, with what I believe is the original soft case bought with the ukulele some where close to 1915.The sound is amazing the wood is in above ,nearly minty ,with the exception on the tiny professionally fixed crack, it is all tight and strung to play.  On the snaps of the case are marked U.S. CO. F. A STAR AND WINGS. This may be the only original soft case left for this ukulele, it has the original owners name on it HAZEL PIERPONT , on the carry handle , the soft case is in great shape.  The markers mark is clear as when it was applied, these were at this time all made by hand , one at a time. Please read the story on the maker ,started in the back yard. These came to the main island in 1915.
