I was looking through my local Facebook Marketplace and saw an add for a Kamaka at a good price. I could see from the pictures that it had a gold label. We exchanged IMs and I decided to check it out. Wow! It was like opening a time capsule! It had the original box and packaging, the original receipt (sold for $26 in 1971), an extra set of sealed Kamaka strings, a pitch pipe, and a Mel Bay book. There are no cracks, but the frets are sharp so I'm sure it is a little dry. I wasn't exactly looking for anything, but I couldn't pass it up!

Wow! What a treasure!!!
 
Great piece of ukulele history! Almost makes me want to use Facebook!

Congratulations and enjoy your Kamaka
 
Great find! I'd have pounced that one too, in spite of not wanting to get more ukes. :)
