Research indicates that this may be a 1976 model as some of the early models came without a sticker on the shell. But with the "Hearts & Flowers"
in the inlay, and the armrest attached to the hooks, it definitely was made from 1976 to 1978. The banjo has maple onthe resonator and neck with a
rosewood strip down the center of the back. The case is original with blue lining (the lining has some wear due to age) but this does not take away
from it's use. 5 string in excellent condition, no scuffs or marks, resonator with inlaid double concentric rings, beautiful maple finish, case bell bronze tone
ring, hand cut mother-of-pearl inlays carefully laid out in the "Hearts & Flowers" pattern on both the ebony fingerboard and peg head overlay, geared
fifth string, shop adjusted.
