The range of banjos sold under the name of "Broadcaster" were stamped: "Made by J. & A. M. of London."
In actual fact they were made by the huge furniture, gramophone and radio company J.& A.Margolin Ltd. The banjos were inexpensive instruments, their wooden hoops being covered with nacrolaque, as were the fingerboards. The metal work (bezel, shoes, brackets, tailpiece, etc.) was of very thin lacquered brass.
Just bought a banjo mandolin made by this company as a refurb project.
Anybody know anything else about this company ?
Looks like it might be late 20`s ( ? ) or so.
John p.s. the above description was from BMG Magazine from the early `70`s.
