This is for sale in my area. Any idea who the maker might be, how old, and what it might be worth?The seller says there are no markings anywhere on it . I only have these two pictures. Thanks in advance.

Looks Buckbee - ish. Probably built in the 1890's. If it's playable, I'd say in the $150 -$200 range.

I concur with Mr Box, as posted above, as the most likely maker.

Is it just my eyes or is it strung with steel strings? I can't quite make it out.

Thanks for the info. It’s hard to make out much detail on these pictures. I’m going to go check it out if the seller gets back to me.

Looks like nylon / gut / Nylgut strings to me, when you enlarge the photos
