Not a lot of info on this model out there ?

I saw the Yellowstone jewelry info but not much else out there.

I just picked one and looking for more on this model.

thanks!

If this is the one that recently was sold on eBay it looked like a nice little banjo that should sound pretty good when properly set up with a nice set of LaBella 17 strings. Not sure what else you would like to know about it.

I was just wondering because usually you can find references to old banjo models but this one (I got on eBay) and the Yellowstone Jewelry banjo is the only mention I have found. I am taking it apart and doing a mild cleaning on it now.
