Peterson POLK-A-LAY-LEE Ukulele – 1960s Novelty Collectible

The Peterson POLK-A-LAY-LEE is a rare gem from the 1960s, originally created by Peterson Products of Ohio for the Polk Brothers Appliance store chain in Chicago, IL. This quirky tenor ukulele was designed with a fun twist—a long headstock meant to stick in the sand during beach parties. While the original box is gone, the charm and nostalgia are very much intact!

Key Features:

  • Vintage Appeal: Made in Ohio, circa 1960s, this ukulele exudes retro vibes.
  • 18" Scale Length: Tenor ukulele size, perfect for collectors and novelty enthusiasts alike.
  • Durable Construction: Original plastic fingerboard, tuners, and bridge—all intact and functional.
  • Playable & Displayable: The action might not win awards, but it's still playable and ready for some light strumming.
  • Conversation Starter: Whether for the musician who "has it all" or a quirky collector, this instrument is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

With its charming patina and unique story, the POLK-A-LAY-LEE is more than a ukulele—it's a slice of musical history and a tribute to a bygone era of novelty instruments. Available now at Uncle Jon’s Music!
