My Mom bought this in 1954. She stopped playing it in 1955 and put it in the case and forgot about it. I have no idea what brand it is or why it is stringed the way it is. I have not changed anything.

I think it is pretty cool...

Wow!That is beautiful,a real museum piece.I love the white plastic fretboard and the "Hawaiian" graphics.It was probably made by Harmony.Ukulele was very popular in the early 50's because of the popularity of Arthur Godfrey's TV show.
