GUEST,Chris Walton Dating a Wm. Hillyard Banjo (19) Dating a Wm. Hillyard Banjo 16 Jan 06

Hi folks, I'm new here and hope this is the right place to post this question. I'm trying to date a banjo that has the name 'Hillyard' on it. It seems to refer to a Wm. Hillyard, born in Ireland, had a shop in England making instruments and then worked for J.W. Pepper in Philadelphia before opening a shop in 1896. Then all reference to his is lost. The question is How can I date and find a value for this banjo? Any ideas? Please. Thank you for your time and trouble.
