How much should one expect to pay for a 1929 Gibson PB-3 banjo in excellent condition? Any insight or commentary will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Ballpark estimate - $2700 - 3100, depending upon degree of "excellence."

One-piece flange or two piece?  Arch top or flathead?

I believe a two piece flange, archtop.
