Vintage Soprano Ukulele  early 1900's  Honolulu

Style and appointments of this ukulele, circa 1900's, indicate that it was most likely made by Manual Nunes or one of his sons very early in his career in Hawaii after leaving Portugal.  Cracks were repaired and touched up, partial "rope" binding was missing and replaced, partial interior lining was missing and replaced, and pegs were refitted.
