Ah yes, now I see what you mean. Thanks for those pics. You have a very fine uke and it is very, very similar to the one I found. I think yours was made around the same time or perhaps a year or two later, say, 1920?
Mine has wooden pegs and yours has those nice little button tuners I have on some of my other ukes.
That crack really should be repaired IMO. If the crack was repaired properly your uke would be worth between $1,500 - $2,000. As it is, maybe $1000? Please understand that these are just guesses. I bought mine on eBay for $2,250 which I thought was a good price considering its condition and original case. I am a collector of old Martin ukes, I have several of them. Thanks again.
