1924-25 Gibson UB trap door Ukulele Banjo W/ Original Case. It's a ukulele that shaped like a banjo and the size of a mandolin. The serial number stamped inside would make it a 1924 to 1925, original case, appears to be completely original with the exception of two of the tuners. There is a stamp on the head that says hard white, there is also some writing on the head however it is so faded I cannot make it out. There is a little diamond shaped plaque at the top of the headstock that says Miles Music Store Knoxville Tennessee. Perhaps that is who originally sold this instrument almost 100 years ago! I have not tuned it up.An Ebayer wrote me to add this: This is a model "UB" Gibson's first banjo ukulele, and was only produced for about 13 months. Your date is correct. It is basically a 4 string version of Gibson's banjo mandolin junior, left "blonde" and with the added trap door.
