I see post-war vintage Martin tenors for sale with fairly specific claims about the year or decade it was made.
However, from what I understand, if a Martin style 1 tenor uke has: a peghead decal, T frets, 12 fret neck, and no "Made in the USA" stamp inside body - it can only be dated to a range of 1934 to pre-1962.
How are sellers narrowing that 30 year range in their ads? Are there any other distinguishing characteristics that help? Thank you.
