It's a Fillmore. I believe the "of Century" part denotes made in China.

I remember reading something about the "Of Century" Mosrites. I think on Romans site & they are from China. This isn't really something I am interested in, but it is pretty cool.

Thanks, Veenture. The Ukulele sounds pretty cool.

I remember reading one of the books about how Shadows recorded their hit tune "Apache".

Hank Marvin said Jerry Lordan came to them and demonstrated this tune with an Ukulele, He remember that Jerry moved his hand up and down on the Ukulele like crazy to play that famous verse....

Always wonder how does "Apache" sound on an Ukulele. But I am not going to bid on this one just for that...
