I bought this from member weeshan, and it's not something I expect to see at many ukulele gatherings. It in beautiful condition, and it has a great sound. You can see an owner's name from 1920 carved inside. These were made in Los Angeles about 100 years ago.

That is certainly beautiful. And I love the "Keech" style design of a wood pot with an inner tone ring, as it makes them so much more comfortable to hold. (Which is why the banjo uke I bought recently was the similar designed Magic Fluke Firefly tenor.)
 
Wow, that's really pretty. Love the two tone. Any idea what the wood is?
