I'm starting to get the bug for collecting one uke to represent each decade in which it was made. I have a Nunes from the 10's, a Martin from the 20's, and a Harmony from the 50's. I'd like to go up through the 60's, but the caveat for the 60's is that it has to be from 1968…I want it to be a birth year uke. I'm not sure which builder I could be sure of that from. I've run across some in the past that said 68-69, but I want to be sure.
So here's what the list looks like. Those in parenthesis are not yet acquired and open to suggestion and revision.
10's - M. Nunes
20's - Martin
30's - (Gibson)
40's - (Favilla)
50's - Harmony
60's - (1968 ?)
What would you suggest for the remaining 3 ukes? And any ideas of what builder I could be assured of getting a correctly dated '68 from?
