Questions about a zyther/banjo

Hi everyone, first a big THANK YOU to this website host for approving my request to becomd a member.

Recently, I bought this zyther/banjo from an estate sale. It is alleged to be from 1900. I do not know the maker and is in a desperate need of repair that I am willing to do. It previous owner did a bad job on it. I would love to share pictures of it before I took it apart and afterwards.

If anyone could help me to upload these picture I would deeply appreciated.

"Yeah, not a Weaver, but certainly a Weaver copy, which seems to have been something offered by most of the majors brands in England. JAT was kinda obvious about it, in a catalog I have photos of they have “Weaver Model” listed."

Flap Jacks Rag..(1916)..J. Bowie Googer.

Other than the information displayed on the attached title page, little is known about the composer. This is a gem of a rag and is extremely well written. I've extended it by adding to the end, a repeat of the intro and the first and second parts…See More

At The Ball (Schottische-Caprice)..1904..Thomas Henry Lodge.

This is a well written, catchy tune by Lodge,and  with the use of dotted notes, is similar in style to the Sunflower Dance. It's the sort of tune that you could find in an early banjo tutor. It's one of my current favourites and isn't too much of a…See More
