Very early, possibly 20's style small banjo uke. I have seen many of these over the years, but this one is
high quality. The resonator and perhaps part of the pot were lathe turned. It originally had friction pegs
which were used in the early years of the Ukulele. I have one of the original friction pegs, but I added a
new set of pegs. Holes sizes were the same and drilling was necessary.
The pot measures 7" Od, and 61/2 on the metal tension hoop. Total length is 20.5".
It comes with a spare cow hide skin, and a flesh hoop if you decide to change it.
The old skin is in tack, but probably cannot hold much tension. A classic "Wall Hanger".
