I've been trying to research some prices for a 1920's "The Gibson" brand 17 (18) fret tenor banjo...all original, wooden neck (very straight), resonator, not been played much, minor normal use sratches on back. Has modern hard case.

I have been searching various banjo Dealers on the net but haven't come across any comparable "The Gibson"'s...not even close...

Anyone (esp in the US) have an/any idea as to what a banjo like this would be priced?

You can email me at [e-mail] or via the mudcat personal messages...

Thanks bunches!

Mary

Also, there are "dot" inlays on frets...not sure of model name or if it has a tone ring of anysort...
