1926 (I think) serial # 4566. I bought some banjos from the daughter of an old time Houston banjo player. They haven't been touched in years. This Lange Style A seems to be all original. Serial number on body and neck. Page tuners. Back of neck has a rough spot down towards the heel, looks loke the finish has been chipped off. Metal parts are tarnished and a little corroded. Varnish yellowed on headstock. Frets and fretboard look good, all inlays are there. There is no hairline cracking at heel of neck. Needs a new skin, the remo is splitting at edges. Case isn't pretty, but it shuts and the handle isn't broken completely off yet. Ask questions if you need further info. I would guess this would make a great player with some work.
