Description

I believe this was made in the 1920’s but I have no doubt this is Pre World War 2. This is an openback banjo made out of some sort of metal that is lined with what I believe is maple. This is secured with 30 lugs and has a support mount in the middle. I don’t think that is a dowel rod because the rod seems stable and immobile. The neck is mahogany with an ebony fretboard. The fretboard has really attractive inlay work, in fact that is a really big plus to the banjo!!! The headstock also has inlay work which sets it off nicely. This has 20 frets. There are no spikes or 5th string capo installed. The head measures 11 3/4 inches on the outside and 10 1/4 inch on the inside. The fretboard is 18 inches exactly.

This appears to be all original with the exception of several changed lugs. I am assuming the short lugs are original and there are 22 of those with 8 lugs being longer. This has the original No Knot tailpiece and the tuners are also original. The banjo has a faux sheep skin head with a Grover bridge and new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings. This is a really cool piece of history and at this price I don’t expect this to last too long.

This has been set up here at the Banjo Warehouse and has no functional issues, damage or repairs. This includes a TKL hardshell case. The hinge on the body (pot) side of the case has broken but this doesn’t effect the security of the case. The lid simply won’t stand up when the case is open by itself. All of the latches work so this is secure in transport and the case itself is clean.
