Back in 1952 I purchased a Ukulele in Yokosuka Japan for 800 yen. It is cleverly inscribed (MADE IN OCCUPIED JAPAN). The tuners are basically of the friction type (the same as found on expensive violins) and only two of them are missing. To add to its value the names of many of my shipmates are carved into the side and all of the ports that we were in are carved on the back and neck. A rather nice sounding instrument if you have nothing to compare it with!

Perhaps one of you may know the value of this one of a kind ~ fine instrument?????
