Description
Brand: Bacon Country/Region of Manufacture: United States


     Travel back in time with this vintage banjo tailpiece. Marked "The Bacon," it's a Bacon & Day banjo tailpiece. I don't know if it's from a tenor or a five-string banjo. Probably a tenor because it's very old. It does have ordinary wear and tarnish. I have not cleaned it nor steel wooled it. I'm not sure which B&D model it originally went with. If someone knows which exact B&D model it came with, please let me know.                      Questions?
