From the Kamaka site FAQ:
From 1963 to 1970, to compete against unscrupulous ukulele manufacturers who tried to sell fake "Kamaka" ukuleles in Japan, Kamaka & Sons Enterprises collaborated with Tokyo Stringed Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to produce ukuleles for sale in Japan. Called "Keiki Kamaka," the ukuleles were made of mahogany, and were only available in the standard (soprano) size. "Keiki" means "child" in Hawaiian, a fitting name for the lowest-priced, beginner's model.
This Kamaka is in new condition I even have the original box it was sold in. The original box and hard case will be shipped to the new owner. This one was not sold in Japan but in Hawaii at "Bill's Hawaiian Shop" in Waikiki. I would like to trade for a named brand electric koa tenor, such as a Pono or I'll sell this Kamaka at a price of $400 but prefer to trade for a koa electric tenor.
Will split actual shipping costs with buyer in lower48.
