Enoch dowel stick stamped 267. I don't know the year that it was made.
The banjo is in very good condition. There is a small hole on the inside of the rim (please see pic). Some light scratches and small indentions on bottom of rim (it is about 90 years old!!!).
Chrome plated pot hardware. Tension hoop and bracket band plating is still very good. Some of the hooks have the plating wearing away. The hooks and shoes all look the same to me. I'm not a banjo expert, so cannot testify as to all the pot hardware (except the tailpiece which is newer) being original.
Will knock off $100 if paid by cash or cashiers check.
