SS Stewart Special Banjo
Price: $1,000.00 USD
Late 1880's SS Stewart Special banjo for sale. Serial 19873. The scale is 26 5/8" +/- and the pot measures 10 1/2". Currently strung with nylguts (always has been) and has a skin head (not original). This banjo is all original, at least as far as I know. It has the original ivory rosette on the tailpiece. The dowel stick is original, as is the turnbuckle brace, and has not been moved to accommodate current playing preferences. No extra holes in the rim (same reason). I bought it from a gentleman who told me that his great-grandfather was the original buyer. You can see the owner's initials and year of ownership on the case. The case is a very nice TKL and the banjo fits it very securely. This is an all original banjo in great condition for it's age and is almost 130 years old. I'm open to offers.
Shipping: Actual shipping cost to be paid by buyer.
