1923 Folk Art "Pals" Banjolele
Why have your friends sign an autograph book when they can inscribe your banjolele? Overall size 20.5 x 7.5 x 3.5 inches. From Western Pennsylvania, signed "M.O. '23 / R.H.H.S," presumably a high school. Felted wool cover with snap closures; a tight fit with holes worn through at the tuning pegs and base. The cover sheds a fair bit, but sure is cute. Old ribbon around the wooden tuning pegs, nice crazing to the lacquer. Remnants of a string on one of the pegs is evidence it was once functional--and could be again?
Regular price
