Born out of the "novelty uke" era during the late 1960's, these gems were made by Swagerty Enterprises. On the left is the Treholipee, the most outrageous, with its long peghead spear that was so useful at the beach.

The idea was that when you weren't playing the thing, you could stab it into the sand. If that just wasn't cool enough, you could go for the Kook-a-le-le, with 2 necks to double your ukulele pleasure. Rumor has it, the Treholipee also could be used as a hockey stick.
