GUEST,Walter Mac - Chances are that if the logo matches other instruments it is from the same "brand".
I can't recall what has been said previously on this old thread (although I have read it on numerous previous occasions), but some instrument "brands" were essentially labelled up by the company that sold them, but may have been manufactured by other makers. If you look HERE - scroll half way down the page, It would seem that Houghton were one of the companies which made banjos for others to put a "label" on.

How does the banjo sound?
Quack!
