Interesting Instruments old banjos.I bought a fretless banjo not long ago with friction pegs and the neck is in lovely condition as is all of it,lotsa brackets a simple tone ring and an ebony fretboard with lotsa peal.Thing is it has no name.I have collected banjos for some time but this one is the oldest.Thing is how to date it and does anyone know when fretless banjos where popular might help me put some kind of of date on it,also the rim is metal plated over wood.
