Behold the Harmony “Aero Uke”.

Handcrafted in 1927 to commemorate Charles Lindbergh’s first transatlantic flight, this ukuele was designed and sold by the Harmony company in Chicago, which apparently was a hotbed of ukulele activity in the early 20th century. The one on top is an original, the second one is a reproduction.

History is super weird you guys. I want one.
