I was able to find a c.1915 Stromberg plectrum banjo. I was told that they didn't make as many plectrums as tenors. Does anyone out there have a Stromberg plectrum?

I have seen one that was converted to a plectrum. You can always email Vinny over at 4stringbanjos.com. He's a great resource on Strombergs and He's seen a bunch of 'em. A close up of the head stock and the dowel would help. Looks like a cuppo-phone with the arch top tone ring. Great sound! I've got a couple Strombergs.
