This is a very late model, original five string Silver Bell banjo complete with knee mute, Oettinger tailpiec etc. . There is no serial number so it was perhaps made by Fred Bacon after Gretsch took the company over. The neck is beautiful, flamed, curly maple,with pieces ebony laminations. The peghead sports four original prewar, planet tuners, and the 5th peg is not geared. This banjo is unbelievably clean and shows very little playing wear. It is a little bit narrow at the nut (27.8 mm). The only thing that has been changed since new is the head clear plastic head and the strings.
