ORIGINAL LUDWIG BANJO UKE CASE (c.1927). Very rare original Geib & Schaeffer ‘KantKrack’ vintage black hard shaped Ludwig banjo uke case, with its original padded green plush velvet internal lining and its original ‘Ludwig’ badge on the inside of the lid. The pocket lid is in perfect condition but it has come loose and needs to be re-hinged. The central clip that goes into the lock has at some stage broken off - but it is still inside the case pocket, so it could be re-attached. The other two other securing clips still have a strong spring that enables this fine case to be closed securely. The rest of the case is in superb condition inside and out. These top-of-the-range velvet lined ‘KantKrack’ cases in good condition will sell £400. To allow for the two repairs, this one is offered for sale at £300. SOLD
