Thread Name: When did resonator Banjoes appear?
Subject: RE: When did resonator Banjoes appear?
The Bacon, NOT Bacon and Day, has a simple pot which is spun brass over maple. 16 hooks and brackets. The pot is about 1/2" thick and is 11 and 3/8 inches across. It takes a high crown head. It has a very plain neck with a round cap on the heel. The resonator sits over the pot and is held in position by a single threaded fastener through the wooden dowel stick. The screw pulls the pot against the pot where it rests in four shoes that keep it a uniform distance from the sides and bottom of the pot.

I found it or its twin in a pre-WWI reprint Sears catalog.

Thats all the info I have.
