My Instruments:
1 possibly 1850s neck married to a 1870 pot,
1 circa 1865 banjo. Very nice restoration job!
1 Dobson Silver Bell and what I think is an 1870s Dobson resonator banjo, but not sure if the neck is correct. And a Dobson Resonator that has the correct neck.
1 circa 1880 banjo with a brass pot and unique hook/nut arrangement
3 Stewarts, from the 1880s and 1890s, including a Banjaurine
A 1890s Buckbee
