1930s Harmony Airplane-Bridge Johnny Marvin "Tenor" Ukulele

Description

1930s Harmony Airplane-Bridge Johnny Marvin "Tenor" Ukulele. Condition is "Not Currently Playable"
This rare vintage Johnny Marvin Ukulele is an amazing piece for any patient collector or a musician who is searching for a long term project
It is in quite poor condition as it has been sitting in an attic for many many years. It belonged to my great grandfather during World War 2 and was just recently found among his belongings. As a musician myself I would love to keep this piece but have decided to sell it as I do not have the time to fix it up.
Work on this included cleating a lot of cracks, a fret level/dress, bridge shave/refinish/and reglue, new pins, a new fret-style saddle, general cleaning, and setup.It will also need new strings and pegs on the bridge. It plays on-the-dot with 1/16" action at the 12th fret. This only has a 14 3/4" scale length, too, so the feel is in-between a modern concert (15" to 16") and a modern soprano (usually 13 5/8" or so).
This does not come with a case or any other accessories, it is just what is shown in the picture. I hope whoever ends up with this beautiful vintage piece puts tons of effort into making him beautiful again.
Starting bid is based off of average selling price for this item with repair costs subtracted.
