    Trader-BOB's MUSIC offers an unbranded late 1800's - early 1900's 5 string banjo. Possibly SS Stewart. No name brand, anywhere. Identifying features. 10-3/4"  diameter single rolled, German Silver pot / body. 10-3/4" head diameter. The number "11" inside the wooden rim, under the dowelstick opening. Ball end, (closed end) 9/32" hex tension hook nuts, (prevalent on Vega banjos), 26 hooks and nuts present, 4  are missing. Round top, flat bottomed hook mounting shoes, not hex lugs. Grooved top main tension hoop. The neck does not look original to this banjo. Looks newer in style. Rounded back of the neck, not "V" shaped like the era of German silver rolled bodies. Thank you to a more knowledgeable ebayer, have  found comparisons to the peghead profile, very very similar to 1800's SS Stewart models, in shape, and inlay style.  Maybe someone out there recognizes it.  22 frets, major wear on the fret wires, and fretboard.  The friction tuners all work, 5th string tuner does not match the other 4. PROJECT ! Not up to it? PLEASE do not BID / BUY ! Read my feedback, buy with
    confidence!
