Can any one tell anything about this Banjo. I picked it up at an estate auction this weekend.
It has no name or markings on it that I can see. The pot(?) is about 7 inches and the head is about 5 inches. It is 1.5 inches deep.
The back is a closed back with wood which has a 1.5 hole in the middle. This banjo is all wood. Frets seem to be sanded down, like a fretlees neck. It is a five string and tuners are the friction type and made of some sort of black wood.
Banjo appears to be very very old and is in poor shape{missing 2 tuners, head is split and no bridge)

Any ideas about this one. I have pics but can figure out how to post.

Thanks
Bryan
