    Description

    Nice Condition Maybell Tenor Banjo with Pear.
    Stamped Liberty on the top and has MayBell on the back.  From my research,  appears this Tenor Banjo was from the 20's.
    I had it checked out a local reputable shop.   Had the head and strings replaced and no other issues.      I dont have a case.
    See pics and let me know if you have any questions.
    In 1926 the Liberty Rawhide Company of Chicago combined with two Massachusetts companies - banjo and drum makers Nokes & Nicolai of Boston and Joseph Pacheco of Malden, a maker of stringed instruments - to form the Liberty Musical Instrument Company. Pacheco remained with the new company, manufacturing instruments . The new venture, which was located at 1431-35 West Austin Avenue in Chicago, was not a success, and in August, 1927 the company's assets were purchased by Slingerland.
