Thread Name: Stewart Banjo Fans: eBay Alert
Subject: RE: Stewart Banjo Fans: E-Bay Alert
You know, there's a reason why I keep posting notices here about Stewart banjos being auctioned on eBay: they can be remarkedly beautiful. Take a glance at the 1888-1892 S. S. Stewart 5-String Banjo.(Item # 2504715209) which is a close clone of one my brother has (which I "borrowed" while he was in the service but finally returned 10 years later); search for "stewart banjo". This one has the full array of inlay on the fingerboard, the beautifully carved heel with a star, the intricate mosaic of inlay inside the pot, and will probably sell for over $1500. The images posted are not the best but this Stewart looks to be in superb condition.
Cheerily,
Charley Noble
