Description

Gibson Banjo Ukulele UB-1 (1925 or early-1926)

Tailpiece: I think that this might be original, despite the generally poor fit.

1920s banjo ukulele made by Gibson; model UB-1.

UPDATE: John Croft (www.ukuleleman.com) suggested that this uke dates from 1925 to early 1926 based on the black nut and black tuner buttons; the components were cream colored on subsequent instruments.

The headstock script stencil reads "The Gibson". The head is skin. I'm not sure if the tailpiece or bridge is original; the bridge is by Grover.

I removed the flat resonator [held by four screws] for this picture.
