This, I believe, was a prototype for Chuck Lee's Prarieville model. Unlike current Prairieville models, this one does not have a tone ring.
12" rim
Peghed tuners (geared, but they look like friction fiddle pegs)
Abolone inlay on peghead
Goat skin head
Frailing scoop
A few minor dings, but nothing that affects feel or playability
Tarnish on the tension hoop (might be cleanable, if you're so inclined)
Hardshell case (like new)
I bought this second hand in 2008 and paid $1,815. It's priced low for a quick sale.
Nice old-timey sound, and quite loud. It's currently set up with steel strings, but it also sound good with Nylguts.
