I've almost bid on this "Gibson" uke on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Gibson-...812?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f043019ac
But... if you look at the photo that shows the headstock; "The Gibson" logo looks like it was put on with a white marker rather than the real thing?? IF it is real, it seems like it could be a "Style 2", but I've not found any of "The Gibson" labeled ukes that have the same ivory binding nor any where the logo is so low on the headstock (notice how its almost touching the tuners?) OR apparently hand-written? It certainly is in really good shape if it is as old as "The Gibson" logo would indicate.
Perhaps it is really an old Gibson, & maybe I'm missing the deal of a lifetime, but... it just looks wierd.
(Title should read: "Real or Counterfeit" - "I before E ..."
