Op Shop treasure


It has been a great week for Op Shop treasure! DD came home with  a reportedly 100 year old Australian made ukulele. 
 I found two Royal Albert 'American Beauty' plates to go with the trio on my dresser. 
DD brought me a fabulous book on Vikings by Neil Oliver. It was A great read!

Score!
Perhaps you can take the uke to a music shop (or a guitar/instrument maker) to have it authenticated. (Is there an Australian version of Antiques Roadshow?)

I do love a bargain - good shopping there! Well done!
I have a friend on FB who is a guitar-maker who might be able to help you track down the Uke.

I don't know an Aussie Antiques Road show, Nann. I do have a label in the Ukelele which might give a clue or two. DD is keen to have the instrument restored -it has a couple of cracks in the body -nothing major.
