Description

Description
: This is for
a Neat
Vintage Banjo I found in a storage locker. I know very little of it.Has a neat Rose Design on back with a screw hole. I assume to tighten it somehow. I see no makers mark but in my research the ones most similar to it was made by a Howard co. but still unsure..condition is not bad I guess. missing a string and very dusty and needs a good cleaning. the metal trim pate has a couple small cracks on the edge but does not look serious to me (see picture). there is also a small (crack) where the neck meets the body(see pic). other than that it is what you see. selling for parts or restoration with no returns. it comes with a newer Gater Case which sells for over 0.00 by itself..
About me:
Hi Folks and thanks for looking at my items for sale, Here is my story. I am sort of what you call an American (California) Picker. I find most of my items at Storage unit sales or Swap Meets or Estate sales ect .Most of the items I find are old and or used and allot of them  I know little of but I do try to describe all best I can but please understand some items are difficult to relay condition so please look at the pictures closely, if you see something I do not describe it may mean I did not see it or that it is pretty clear there is a problem. . I am as easy going as pumpkin pie so holler if you have any questions at all. I like to start the auctions at a low price So most times you can really find a bargain. Please ask Questions as I am not always the expert on these things. .
