Having often looked up banjos on good ol' Banjophiles, I'm asking here if anyone can explain who was "T Biggs" who shows up repeatedly as owner of a pile of old Gibsons.
Can anyone enlighten me?
Dick, I suspect that it is/was Tom Biggs, who is listed in the member directory twice with different user names. A friend of mine who was also a collector of old Gibsons knew him and spoke of him a lot. I have a dim memory of his passing, although I may be misremembering. For what it's worth, his BHO info is sparse and has not been updated recently. Michael
Google "Tom Biggs banjo"
I think Tom Biggs would have been one of the first folks to begin compiling info on the old Gibson banjos. Styes, different inlay patterns, FON's and serial numbers, owners if known, what type pot (1 piece or 2 piece flange) wood type, tone ring type, changed or obviously incorrect parts, and just all sorts of things, and all kinds of different info about them.
Thank you all!
