I have all the part that came out of a 1929ish ball bearing banjo when the rim was cut down and a flat head installed.
Don't need any ideas on who could use the parts
Thanks Larry
Gibson no longer made ball-bearing banjos in 1929. They are from 1925 and 26, and somewhat different for each year. So you might want to see of you can date your parts correctly. Not sure what your question is, but there likely would be demand for the parts. Someone could use them to make a new BB banjo.
That's for info. After I posted, I read that 1929 was incorrect. Thanks for the correction

There always seem to be some ball bearing Gibson owners on here who are searching for the original little parts like washers, springs and ball bearings which have gone missing from their banjos.
Put an ad here on BHO Marketplace with good photos of your parts.
1925ish banjos had very noticeable holes through the lower skirt of the ball bearing tone ring. Visible from outside the banjo, and known as "shotgun skirt". 1926 did NOT have these holes. There is one tiny additional metal part at the bottom of the 1925 skirt too.
Good luck.
