This early 20th-century piece features a rich sunburst finish on a wooden body with decorative yellow soundhole rosettes and instructional decals. Included is the original hard carrying case with a vibrant purple lining, a bow, and the 'Directions for Playing the Ukelin' instructional booklet published by the Oscar Schmidt-International Corporation. An excellent find for collectors of folk instruments or antique Americana, this piece showcases the distinctive craftsmanship of the Jersey City-based manufacturer. Note that the instrument shows signs of age and wear consistent with its vintage nature.
