I don't know if this banjo will ever be considered a collectible, but it is an OME Baldwin built in 2005. It was a custom build. It is one of four necks that OME milled around 2000, it is the “Style D” walnut neck that ODE sold to Baldwin. It has a Mastertone style pot with a Gibson style flange. All nickel plated OME metal except the flange, ebony fret board, walnut resonator, Keith D tuners and Waverly tuning pegs. Very easy to play and sounds great, plus in my opinion it is a great looking banjo.

Jack,
Where did you get your information on this banjo ?
Is it your banjo ?
Tommy
Yes it is my banjo. Tanya Ogsbury is the source for conformation.
Jack,
OK, thanks
Tom
I've seen some pics of the Ome shop from around the time this was produced and one of these was on the wall (I think it had the Ome flange) but there was a description of Chuck making up a few of these. So cool!
Found this review of the banjo by the original owner that ordered the banjo from OME.
