Anyone tell me abit about this?

Looks Japanese or Korean to me-thick top & bottom/cheap wood/sloppy craftsmanship. Interesting that the neck joins the body at the 13th fret-not the usual 12th fret...that is, if there WAS a 13th fret

Yeah I found the same site. Havent really been able to find out much about the uke itself though. seems to be ether French or English judging by the the brand. Any idea what wood its made of?
 
J.R.Lafleur was another London music publisher with a line in distributing musical instrument, some of which they manufactured. They were founded in 1780 and were officially absorbed into Boosey and Hawkes in 1940, however the 1927 list of directors shows Hawkes & Sons already owned it at this time. Though again more famous for wind instruments, Lafleur did distribute, (but not manufacture) a range of fretted chordophones including Ukuleles in the UK under the brand name Varsity.
