Either way, they look good and work well. They look to have some vintage, but they may be violin pegs. The'ropey' style was much sought after, and today is rare and hard to find.
It has slight crazing, as vintage finishes do, with a few very minor scuffs and nicks that the age would indicate.
It does not have a sprayed finish, but is as near perfect as a vintage finish can be. Sanded by hand, finished by hand, and set up by hand. The ukes of this era were ALL assembled by hand.
This is not to say that it looks like a factory model of 2013. It looked as if it were bought in 1930, played a few times, and then put away for 70 years or so. I was momentarily stunned at the condition. The back is radically arched, the heel beautifully tapered-see photos. Chips, breaks, repairs, impression damage, strum wear or problems of any kind. The bracing inside is side-to-side, as is normal for ukuleles, but the bracing is shaved to a contour, like the finer ukes of the day. The headstock has a dark triangle at the top, but there is no indication as to the maker. Wire frets were not used much after 1930. There are mother-of-pearl markers, and wire frets, indicating the true age of this uke. With an ebony nut, and what looks like maple/walnut(or ebony) purfling and marquetry around the top edge and the rosette. Since the fretboard is slightly higher than the body, and it is made of mahogany, but it does have the simplicity of the island designs. Thanks for stopping and good luck shopping.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I've taken lots of pictures to show condition. The area where the neck meets the body has movement, and will likely need to be reset and restrung in order to make it properly playable. This was likely repaired a long time ago.

The top has a very tight, no movement repaired crack near the neck. The neck, headstock, back and sides look to be in excellent condition. All the parts appear to be original and complete. The insturment is very clean, and looks like it was refinished as some point of it's life. There is also a picture of a young girl playing a four string version of this instrument. The name HARO- INSTRUMENT Made In Germany is on the inside label. The ukulele/ little guitar was likely made around the 1920's. Looking across the nut, the six strings are evenly spaced apart. What is very unique about it is the six string set up. And has the same fret configuration as a soprano ukulele. The instrument is the same size as a soprano ukulele.
