Extremely rare and collectable vintage ukulele made by Lyon & Healy under the Washburn brand. This Model #5350 is from the late 1920's and made from mahogany. This was one of the top of the line models at the time with a kite inlay on the headstock. This ukulele is Concert sized, with a scale length of 15 3/4" and an overall length of 24".The ukulele is all original with no cracks and no repairs. The original "smile" pin bridge even has the original bridge pins. There are plenty of scratches and scrapes, and an area of discoloration on the side. See the pictures for details of the condition. Recently set up with a fresh set of concert uke strings, it plays and sounds great.The original Geib hardshell case is included, which really completes the package. The case has purple plush lining and is in very usable condition. I ship worldwide!
