No brand name; forgot to mention that. This banjo is from the same factory (-ies) that produced instruments under names like Lyle, etc.

I had a five-string that I sold a while ago that was from the same makers; it had lost its plastic nameplate-thing, too. I once had a lead on the name of the factory/company, but I have forgotten who they were.

This one has dot inlays as opposed to the MOP blocks I've seen on others. Resonator, looks like a one-piece flange (but I could be wrong).

Anyway, for a good-sounding and good-playing instrument like this, $125 to your door** is a great deal.

Regards,

Big
