Saw this one on eBay. Anyone know about a vintage Style 0 concert? I don't think I've seen one before.

From my info , most vintage concerts were Style 1 , so an O would be rarer .

Sort of nice having the name carved there. I have a banjo uke with the name and "1920" scratched inside.

From what I can find , there was one built in 1925 , and would have the stamp on the back.
They didnt build any more till 1931 , when they built 52 .
They stopped using the stamp on the back after 1934
