Washburn Model 5350 1920s

This vintage ukulele has a double bound celluloid mahogany body. The neck is also made of mahogany with a beautiful Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard and mother-of-pearl dot inlays. The signature Washburn "smile" bridge even has the original bridge pins.

On the back of the head we find the model name, patent + Washburn stamped. On the inside of the body is a stamp of "Lyon & Healy" and on the whole block is a (readable) serial number.

This was one of the top models at the time with a beautiful inlay on the headstock and luxurious rosette, see photos.

The action is on the higher side, but still doable. And as icing on the cake; This vintage ukulele comes with the original Geib case with purple lining.
