What the heck? How about some details.
This is some kind of custom short neck?
Approx manufacture date of ______?
From Mrs. McGarfells attic down the street?

This private label B&D banjo was listd for sale on ebay. It failed to meet the reserve and did not sell.

Thank you.
Looks like a strange beast.
I just played my "new" B&D #3 this last Sunday for it's first gig.
It's all there, and plays just fine. Now I have two #3's!

Looks like c.1929-1931 with the "tulip"-hole flange...
