Ummm ... where do you get the idea that this was "handcrafted" by MGM? SNIP ...
Haha, I wonder what MGM stands for.
And late 60s? Was Tangi making ukuleles all the way back then?
Maybe because the label in picture #4 says "Handcrafted by M.G.M"? But, as others pointed out... It appears to be a Tangi & possibly our beloved bro, MGM had something to do w/it. I'm sure he'll chime in to this thread eventually.

Tangi Ukulele (a.k.a. Tangi Ukuleles) was started in 1993 by Tangi Tully with the help of his father James (Jim)Tully. Jim, who had been retired from State Department work in South East Asia, was spending a lot of time in Vietnam and Thailand. Having the knowledge that the US embargo against Vietnam would soon be lifted, Jim thought it would be a good idea to set up a facility there to take advantage of premium hardwoods and other quality resources. The rest is history.
Or it could just be another disreputable eBay listing trying to cash in on well known folks in the ukulele community....
I heard that if you buy this uke, you get a spiffy chord poster, too!
