Gary,

The serial number of your banjo-mandolin dates it at 1912. A 1908 instrument would have had an A.C. Fairbanks metal ID plate. Also the Little Wonder banjo models, as best as I can tell, were introduced in 1911.

Not that the banjo is worth any more or less by the 4 year difference in manufacture, but I thought you and potential customers would like to know.
