More photos would be good. Starting bid 2438.73 USD
If its really a 25 BB, could be a good deal if it doesn't go to high.

It is also on sale on Gumtree uk for £1995- this is very much like the US Craigslist and in my experience reliable. The sellers name is Richard and he states in one of the adverts that he has inherited some instruments hence perhaps a need to sell one or two? I wondered if he was related to the late Phil Morley
Rip.

8527-21 dates to 1926, one of a batch of TB3's, so evidently this one has been converted to five string with Hearts and Flowers inlays. The original tenor neck was probably Diamonds and Squares.
It looks very nice from what pictures are in the ad.

I had a clue when I saw the name of his Ebay store. Hummm is the mildest you could say.

i think the banjo's are the classiest dames he's got ;)

The banjos he has for sale are from the estate of his late uncle Phil Morley who I believe was the founder of British Bluegrass News. Rip.

I'd like one of them black thong pouches but they don't have one in XL.
LOL.

Another Picture of 8527-20
Although I have all the original parts it now has a Sullivan drop in flat head ring installed and I just picked it up yesterday from a re-fret and adding of geared tuners.
