I love watching Antiques Roadshow on my local PBS station. Old “stuff” fascinates me. About 20 years ago the show came to Salt Lake City, and my mom & I got tickets and went to the show. We brought a few of our family keepsakes to be appraised. Our items weren’t worth a lot, but we had a wonderful time learning about them. We also loved meeting the appraisers that we saw on TV each week. It was great fun.
On tonight’s show, a gentleman brought it a ukulele that had belonged to his father, who was a vaudeville performer. The ukulele had been in a closet, not played, with the old strings still on it. 1920-1930 Martin CK-3 soprano in excellent condition. No cracks or repairs. It looked awesome. The appraiser valued it at $3500.
How wonderful to see this beautiful uke on one of my favorite shows.
