I have an old Montgomery wards Airline brand ukulele. I was told it was made in 1950. If it is worth anything how much would it be worth . It is 100% mahogany. I put new Martin strings on it and is has a crack down the back

You might want to head over to Flea Market Music's "Uke Yak" and post some good pictures of it. Maybe Chuck will know something about it.

Airline wasn't exactly your top of the line instrument, so I wouldn't think it's going to be worth a whole lot.

yeah plus the crack, but I still like it just seems to have something else to be holding a ukulele that was made half a century ago and no know where its been and who's played it. Kinda like its lived a life of its own and you can only wonder.

Instruments with history are really cool.
