Research shows this to be a mid 60s banjo.  It has the same closed Grover tuners as the Pete Seeger long neck of the same era.  Also, the pot is identical with 2 truss rods for neck adjustment.  The hardware on this banjo is excellent.  Top is relatively new and it also has a brass 5th string capo.  The hard case is in excellent condition as well.  Has a real nice punchy sound.  The headstock has some small aging cracks but the neck is perfectly straight with only minor blemishes.  All in all, a great vintage openback.
