It's a triumph, make sure to wear a helmet and leathers when playing it. If your more into the 4 wheel variety your aviators helmet and scarf. Have no idea what it is but it's sure cool looking.

Thank you fellas ,I will continue my research,and probably sell it ,I have enough guitars and a new banjo,it is quite cool but not for me .I think I will put it on the sale part of the forum and see what happens

And to britcarfan...you have taste sir,it is a cool little thing but nowhere as cool as my old Triumph bonneville T 140 v silver jubilee special,which sadly I have recently sold,and more interestingly is winging its way to the USA from here in the UK.

britcarfan and kaydee, I agree. I have a 68 bonneT120 chopper and I think tr3 is the best car! very cool little jo.

Yes indeedy to hell with this banjo lark,let's start a new forum about cars and Bikes,..........oh it's been done....!
68 T120 chop sounds nice,and I bet it SOUNDS nice too

My present bike isn't British, it's German a BMW R100RT. Wish I'd kept the 1973 R75/5 I had before it. As you can tell from my avitar I also own a 69 MG Midget. I've liked British cars and bikes since I was an adolescent in the 60s.
Yes a forum on bikes cars and old film cameras would be alright with me.

my 68 triumph

Just on bikes hope to be getting a triumph tiger 1200 explorer just need to do a bit more home work and juggle money .fingers crossed. Interesting little banjo but I will pass on it I have enough frustrations with the collection I have already .

Right-on Rot-N-Dobe! That bike is too cool; I just love the front drum-brake. Far-out '70's down Brother!

Sorry boys ,just got to get back on topic for a minute,apparently this is a George Houghton & Sons banjo Ukulele,circa 1925 to 1935,value $200-$300 non pro restored.maybe more if fixed up ready to play.info kindly supplied by Mr Jake wildwood of Antebellum instruments ,so I will be selling it though being in the UK it makes it more complex for buyers in the States,but where there's a will there's a way
