  • Condition: Used with slight signs of wear it is believed to be from the 1920's when Ukulele's were in their hayday. It does not have a hard case, but came to me in a nice button gig bag . I am not sure when it was made but I would guess it was made in the 1920's. I purchased this from the original owners family. The headstock was already repaired when I bought it and I was told the repair was many years ago. It does have a tight un repaired crack on the back that is stable and I will leave that repair to the new owner. Sold as is but in very good condition. I haven't seen another like it.

    VINTAGE 1920's LYON & HEALY  KOA  WOOD  4 STRING  SOPRANO UKULELE MADE IN CHICAGO.
    This is a Very very  cool old  uke.  I would guess it is from the 1920'S TO 1930'S .  Rare collectors uke,  awesome display item!!!  It has a 13 3/4"  scale it is a soprano it is made of Flamed KOA some of the nicest flame I have every seen on any instrument,  the fingerboard is rosewood  ? the lower bout is 6 1/2" upper bout is 5" all are approx measurements. The back has one tight 4" long un repaired crack. And it appears that the headstock was repaired long ago see pictures for that repair,  the headstock repair is solid & good.    Best I can tell it is all solid woods. I must make one more comment about the wood it is beautiful I am a life long woodworker. I made my living building all kinds of wood items and this is some of the nicest wood I have ever seen. This is a very old instrument.  The repairs or cracks I have mentioned are just  what I have seen there might possibly be other needed repairs I have not seen but you are buying this as is.  If you want to  examine it here at my shop that is always a option.
