A rare circa 1923 B & D Silver Bell (SN:12302X ) in really nice condition. Note the round holes in the flange, and the tone ring also has round holes in it The heel carving is nice and deep. Renee Karnes restored this banjo and added the North American Reindeer (custom art work) and refinished the resonator and I think she may have refinished the neck. The reindeer are made from different types of pearl. The photos do not do justice to Renee's beautiful work! Nice action and has that great Silver Bell sound. Priced at $3395.00 with its original hard-shell case. I believe all the part are original. The meltal parts are all gold plated and the #3 has that nicely carved heel. See photos.
If interested, you will need to call me at 309-837-1067 (Illinois). Probably best to call in the evening. If I'm not home, leave me your phone Number.
