Description

A playful piece of American history, this rare 1920s “Touchdown” ukulele scores big with vintage charm. Featuring a hand-applied decal of football players mid-scrimmage, this soprano ukulele blends early 20th-century pop culture with musical craftsmanship. The faux mother-of-pearl fretboard and headstock, along with detailed football-themed fret markers, add a nostalgic nod to the novelty instruments of the Jazz Age.

Originally created as a child’s instrument or souvenir piece, it still holds its tuning pegs, original bridge, and rich wood-tone finish—complete with the kind of wear that tells its own story. Whether displayed as a collectible or incorporated into your music room decor, this ukulele brings character, conversation, and old-school Americana spirit.
