Made in London, England. Unique hidden 5th string disappears where the 5th string peg normally sits, goes through the inside of the neck and reappears at the tuners on the headstock (6 tuners, 5 strings) Likely made after 1928. This is a well made banjo that's held up great. Awesome sound for such a small head. The neck feels nice and plays well, the v shape is very comfortable. The string height is just right for these type of strings. Nice decorative back with a metal stud in it. The banjo will ship padded inside the case shown in the pictures inside a lined box. Just replaced the 5th string and I will include the other four new strings from that pack. Very cool old banjo!
