I found this banjo at a flea market last weekend. It is a shorter scale 5 string and I believe this would be called a clawhammer banjo. Based on the case design, which appears original, I am guessing 1920's or so. I have looked the thing over for and markings and can't find anything. I am not versed in banjo, never trid to play, but for the price, I figured I would buy it. The case is the only thing that seems to contain any information. The logo looks like a peace sign with what I believe to be the letters H L C within the circle area. I was hoping someone here might be able to tell me a thing or two about it. Also, the 5th string peg is missing, do you think that peg was also a friction peg? Thanks so much. The pictures are located in my profile feed. I am not sure how to include them in the discussion.
