Hawaiian made Ukuleles

Kumalae ukulele c.1920s

The decal on the peghead has the Hawaiian coat of arms
with Gold Award P.P.I.E. 1915 inscription.
Hawaiian musician and hula dancers performed at the 1915
Pan Pacific International Exhibition and the first ukulele
boom swept the mainland USA.

Another Kumalae #1 c.1920s

This one is in better shape without a ding or a crack.
It came in its original leather case.

This little gem came from New Zealand. Thanks Jan.

Kamaka soprano ukulele c.1940

Vintage "Gold Label" Kamaka. The Kamaka uke of this vintage
has no fret boards. It is fretted directly on the koa neck wood.
It sounds sooo nice, a mucho Hawaiian.
(Thanks Mr.Hayakawa for the information)
