For sale is this beautiful condition Gibson and G&S Co. Hard case.
From my enquiries I believe the Gibson logo on the headstock is from the mid 1930's and the instrument is a style 2.
The case has the embossed Geib & Schaeffer Co. Masterkraft logo on the underside which helps date it to 1936 at the latest. By 1937 the company had been renamed Geib Inc.
I have no way of knowing if the case was the original one for this instrument. Both were found in an estate sale having been in storage for many many years. The ukulele is in super condition with no splits or cracks. It presents as having been rarely played. There is some light crazing of the top coat. It had unknown strings fitted and I have replaced them with a set of Living Waters strings.
I am selling because it is in such nice condition that I'd be afraid that I would never play it in case I spoiled it in some way. My other ukes get the odd knock or fall and it doesn't really bother me. This one is different.
Asking $900 Australian plus shipping from Australia to your place. Paypal Family & Friends. Will consider part exchange for a Martin C1K in excellent condition.
