Default Question on value of 1950's Martin Style 1 Baratone Uke

Hi all, I'm helping a friend sell a vintage uke locally and wanted to see if anyone has an idea on it's value. It's a 1950's model style 1. No cracks or scratches through the finish. All hog with rosewood bridge and fb.
Any ideas on what a reasonable price should be?

I'm trying to use [img] tags to share the links from google drive, but having challenges. anyway, the uke is real nice.





thanks,

Rob

browse Gryphons instruments site in the Ukes, they tend to have a lot of old martin ukes and that might help you with a guidepoint-call'm up also and ask what they think-real nice folks over there

Call Stan Jay at Mandolin Brothers with a description - I've never known him to charge for an over-the-phone estimate...
