Hey Scott and all you Ukers - I think this is another mis-identified instrument. Looks like an early banjo-uke to me. I don't know if its worth anything, what do you think.

It's a banjo uke, not necessarily "early", but from the heyday of such things - the 1920s. Not a very high end model, note that there's no fingerboard just frets inlayed into the neck.

Intersting. I have a friend with something similar, but if I remember correctly it had eight strings.

Doc, its most likely a banjo-uke but doubtful that its worth all that much. You might want to try Chuck “Frets” Fayne "Uke Yak" at: http://www.fleamarketmusic.com/uke-yak/default.asp
