What's available that can be nailed down to 1968? I'd like a quality instrument that I can play rather than a novelty 'uke. It appears Martin still made the Model 0 and 3 in '68. Did the Hawaiin makers have a serialization system that can be used for dating? Many makers, including Martin didn't use serialization for a number of years on their 'ukuleles so accurate dating is nearly impossible on many.

Any direction would be appreciated.
 
Have you asked the expert on Flea Market Music yet? They must call him "Frets" for a reason?

Good luck and hope all is well with you.
 
Hi Kevin:

Only problem with a Martin is that you will have a hard time pinning it down to exactly 1968. In fact, I think you'll have a hard time with many ukes dating with that precision.
