    Offered is a Vintage Closed Back Tenor Banjo W/Case Unbranded Unrestored Nice. Older head should be replaced as the bridge has indented it,maybe could be spun and relocated. I’m not a banjo guy so I’m not sure if that is possible. All I have done to it is whipped off some dust. It could use a good cleaning. The action as it sits is low with the indented head and plays all the way up the neck(single plucks, again not a banjo guy. It has a few bumps, nicks, scratches and indents as it should. The line on the back was where it was originally pieced together and upon closer inspection seems to be still solid, I initially thought it was a crack, it is however finish cracked along the seam. It is a solid old piece that looks awesome as is but could be polished up if so desired. The case is red inside and has a alligator print pattern on it. I’m not sure if this is the original case. The case is chipboard and is still functioning. The banjo weighs roughly 6 lbs 9 oz. the neck has a nice flame and all the wood has nice graining/figuring. The head measures 11 inches, the nut to bridge is around 20 3/4. The nut to the 12th fret is 10 3/4 inches. Look at the pics.
