re: martin uke info
Aloha Folks-
Just curious about this whole history dating thing for Martins; in my family there is a very old ukulele that has a stamp on the inside that says "CF Martin & Co. New York." There is no imprint on the back of the peg board or decals. We have always considered it a Martin. It looks like the rest of the sopranos in the family. But when we try to get info about it, it is a little difficult because most sites say the first ukes were 1916 and would have a stamp out of PA instead of NY. So, again, just curious about this and who might be able to help out our family with its history.
