Just found time to photograph the "Irving Berlin".

John Bernunzio produced and distributed the beautiful poster of this banjo entitled "Whyte Laydie Custom".

It is thought that only 2 or 3 of these were ever produced; this is the only example to have yet surfaced.

The pearl work is attributed to the master engraver Icilio Consalvi.
