That's a mandolin banjo, ukelele has only four strings.
I have one the same that was given to me by my grandparents sixty odd years ago - are they worth anything ?

Yes sorry Dave it is a mandolin banjo and I have it strung as a Ukelele. I am using it for a few solos. Not that good with it yet but working on Dixie. I am surprised how loud it is. I particularly liked the ornate finish.
Not worth a lot about £100. I had wanted a banjo then a Ukelele and quite fancied a mandolin. I think it focussed me after seeing Joe Brown a few weeks back.
