It's a style 1 Martin soprano dated approx 1930 .... I bought this to get an idea of the changes and variations that these ukes went through in their evolvement.
this one has Barr frets .. Rosewood and maple bindings ... these bindings are the thinnest I've seen so far about 1/16" thick and all one piece, It must have been easy to fit these with HHG and tape cos they must have been very flexible ..also the marker dots are very small at about 1/16" dia ... Later dots were increased to about 3/32" dia . The rosette is WBW celluloid and no visible joints...Considering it's age 90 + years old it's in decent condition with a few minor issues that can be easily fixed...and it's a beautiful low action player.
