A friend of mine brought this banjo by for me to look at. Found in the attic of his wifes Grandfather. 15 fret, 12" pot, 31 hooks, stamp on tail piece says "PAT.JAN4.87". No other names or anything I can see. Would it be of any value other than sentimental? I'm guessing early 1900's.
Have pics on my home page of this banjo. I tried to add to this post but cant. Must be doing something wrong.
