This isn't an ukulele, but as it's a smaller-sized guitar (not to mention incredibly cool), I thought it might appeal to some of the UUers.
This is a Gretsch Americana guitar featuring the "Sundown Serenade" motif. The Americana series was a short-lived set of four 3/4-size steel-string parlor guitars that featured cartoonish graphics of the Old West. Despite being made of all laminate, these guitars quickly got a reputation as fun little blues boxes. To add to their appeal (and collectibility) each guitar came in a cardboard box "case" that featured vintage-style comic-book graphics. It was as if the guitar had been purchased from the back of an Action comic book in 1950!
To get an idea of how these sound, do a search on Youtube for "Gretsch Americana." Here's one: http://youtu.be/PO4f5jlvmzo
Here are photos of the actual guitar, along with its cardboard "case" and Gretsch shipping box. The guitar has one ding along the back edge. I've pictured this. Other than that and probably needing new strings, it's in great shape. The neck is straight, action is good, and the fun is neverending.

I'm asking $90 plus actual shipping & insurance. Payment by check, money order or PayPal. If using Paypal, I'll split the fees with the buyer. Questions? Please PM me. Thanks.
