I sent Recording King an e-mail inquiring about when my #33 was made. This is the replay I got from Sam.

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Recording King. Only 160 pieces were made. All were built in 2008. We don't track serial #s by dealer, so we can't tell you who it went to at the time, but #33 was in the first production build of this model.

Best Regards,
Sam

Hi,
I purchased the Osborne Scout #33 at Banjo.Com a couple of weeks ago as a new banjo. In reading reviews of this style banjo at the Banjo Hangout I found that #25 was purchased in 2008 and #37 was purchased in 2009. Can you tell me some history of this banjo such as when #33 was made and what dealer it was sold to? Thank you!

Martin Thomas
