Vintage martin ukes if it is indeed a Martin are worth something.

Email me the pics and I'll host them and take a peak.

Other than getting it appraised letting us see some pics and/or giving us more info would be useful.

WWII ukes can go anywhere from $1K to as much as $10K depending on model, age and condition.

Peace,

C
