The oldest is $1100 the other is $500 + shipping

These very vintage Martins are over 100 and the other is over 90. Surprisingly, the 1917 or 18 is in better shape.The 1927 Martin had a deep cigarette burn by the bridge which had a blown out slot
They have been fixed and are now players. They can be heard, seen or played at the Mendocino Coast Uke Fest as I will have them in tow.

Send a PM for more info or questions.

100 year old Martin? Impressive, both beauties! Interestingly, the fingerboard overhang on the '27 uke looks longer, and more squared off, don't think I've seen that before.
that is the 1918 one notice the position marker is at the 9th fret to give it the exact date. Should have reversed the order in the photo.

Hi! Nice ukes!

Do you have any close up pictures of the repairs to the cigarette burn and bridge slot on the '27?
