Description

Avalon Banjo Ukulele ca 1929 | Banjo uke of the type made by Wm. Lange in the 1920s and marketed by various jobbers.

The rim is appears to be a walnut laminate with the inside and the stick painted black. The neck is likely three-piece walnut with the heel cap also painted black. The head stock face is painted black with 'Avalon' stenciled in white. What appears to be an inlay is actually applied celluloid and not inlaid. The position markers appear to be pearl. The fingerboard appears to be ebonized maple. The resonator is two-piece with a contrasting light wood strip down the middle.

The head is 8" across, and the uke measures 22 1/2" in total length.

The uke appears to be all original, with no evident repairs. The rim is missing one shoe and hook, and the resonator is missing one of the attachment screws. Otherwise, some nicks and dings from wear and tear.

Comes with its original Geib hard case in good condition, showing oxidation on the plated metal parts.
