Beautiful vintage Martin Style 0 soprano ukulele, dating to the approximate early 1950's based on its construction/hardware.

Martin did not Serialize these. It has the small period Martin headstock decal and the interior stamp that simply says: "C.F, Martin & Co., Nazareth, PA".

Again, the construction and hardware suggest possible late 1940's to mid 1950's.

I'm even throwing in an unopened set of Genuine Martin strings! (high G)

Features:

Smaller, proportioned headstock decal

12-fret rosewood fingerboard

T-frets

Black/ebony nut and saddle

Rosewood slotted bridge

Keystone-style friction tuners w/tension screws

No body binding

Distinctive five-line sound-hole rosette-narrow alternating black/yellow stripes, w/center black line slightly wider

Condition:

Given the age of this unit, it show its age from normal wear, but is in really good shape, considering it's around 70 years old.

There is a small crack on the lower front, and one on the back side (both re-glued). Please see the Pics.

Remember, this uke is ~70+ years old, so I think that it has held out rather well, AND SOUNDS GREAT!
