	RobBob1571 says: 9/7/2021 8:28:03 PM Hello I was just given a Banjo. I was told it was from the late 40's to early 50's, and was shown pics that show the Banjo being used by a Mummer up here in Philly. I'm a guitar player and know Zip about Banjos... Can anyone tell me if this is close to being complete, is it worth restoring, and any other info that may be associated to this Banjo.. I would like to have a quality Banjo to keep and learn on.. I'd like to hope I have a nice instrument here... I posted some links with pics, not sure I caught the key spots to photo but hopefully it's a start... Thanks ahead of time, Robbob linksharing.samsungcloud.com/lV4YRNj6Vnuc linksharing.samsungcloud.com/5KGgb86Q4RjP linksharing.samsungcloud.com/9eHRR8iP7GFP linksharing.samsungcloud.com/mudPDJbI90AL linksharing.samsungcloud.com/hAZNs84r33wR linksharing.samsungcloud.com/sBVU1Rr6WyeU
	jbalch says: 9/9/2021 2:15:21 PM Those are nice banjos - I had a "Gordon" Branded banjo that was very similar. It is essentially like a B&D"Special." They were high-grade "student" instruments. They don't have the same features or as much value as a professional model like the Silver Bell #1. Others are probably more up-to-date on value that I am now ... but I'd expect it might fetch $450-600 My Gordon: banjohangout.org/myhangout/pho...umid=2771
