Hmmm. Time to refresh this thread. There's a very nice S.S. Stewart Special Thoroughbred, No. 2, listed on E-Bay, well worth a look. Not the most ornate model but good enough to make any oldtime picker very happy. I would expect this one to go for somewhere between $750 and $1200, Additional details I've gotten from the seller confirm that there are 3 layers of veneer under the fingerboard reinforcing the neck, the neck is straight, and the head itself is about 11". The peghead is very nicely rendered in mother of perl and copper; the neck inlays are either simple dots or diamonds. The heel of the neck is nicely carved. There's a Stewart banjo website run by Mudwumps (see above) that will provide you more details about these fine banjos.
