Looks modern to me, but I'm not positive. Anybody know who made this?

More pictures. The banjo came from a sale in Fredricksburg, VA and was sold along with a very beat up (only good for parts) 1880s-1890s banjo.

I don't know who but concur on when: the wood choice and the thickness of the shell look modern.

Sure has a beautiful, unique shape; have you played it yet?

Not yet, it's on it's way to me. I'm interested to see it in person.
