I thrifted this little metal bodied Banjolele or Ukejo or whatever they're called. It has a copper body, flaking copper paint, and the sweetest little 1920's illustration of a lady.
I'm not sure if I should (and can!) make it playable or if I should just let it be a little showpiece of art because of the illustration.
Any ideas? I've been googling and googling and I find lots of similar things for sale but no good information, particularly because of the drawing - is that a common thing?
PS: If you look closely, the drawing has the earliest incarnation of a "your dad" joke on it that I've ever seen
It's a copper bodied maxitone, FYI.
