Someone pointed out that the serial number may date it to 1925. I am going to post in the collection corner to try to get clarification.

Hi Kevin,
The Mastertone letters in the peghead are characteristic of the ‘25 models, but they usually also had a perforated skirt. I’d check the serial against the banjo philes listing.
Just checked--1925. It's earlier sister (-19) also had the Mastertone peghead and no holes in the skirt.
We haven’t corresponded in years—hope all is well with you.
