This site is selling lots of high end stellings. Anyone know if its legit? No names...no address.
On A Related but separate question.
I noticed some staghorns Ive seen have the antlers on the resonator and some dont. Is this year specific?
What years with the antlers AND Tony pass loss timb rims? I saw a 2004 in the ads.
Thanks

Damn, those are some cool banjos. It would be great if they could all stay together in a collection.
I found some bho posts from 2010 talking about this website. Probably just never got taken down.

Looks to be legit. Owned by David Fields, who is a friend of @Texasbanjo.
His name also appears on the Stelling website: https://www.stellingbanjo.com/blog/a-stelling-banjo-chronology/

Mr Fields was a well known name at Stelling and he had quite a collection of Stelling banjos at one time.
The links don't take me to pictures of the back of Staghorn resonators, but in general, walnut banjos had applied antlers, maple did not. A few walnut Staghorns were made without antlers also.
Awesome site, thanks for sharing.

Good nfo. I could have written my 2 questions beeter. First was whether that website is legit. 2nd was about the antle4s with tp rim. The link isnt for the second question.
Can date the information by looking at the value put on an accompanying case for the banjo: "Fiberglass Calton case ($690 value)."
I'd put that in approximately the 2007-2010 time frame, as I bought a Calton case in 2007.
dang , that site is super cool , I’ve never heard of many of those models , especially Stellings , thanks for posting … is that site active ?
