Banjo for sale near San Diego

[Claude L. Medearis]

Here's a pleasant little find.

This is at Buffalo Brothers Guitars in Carlsbad, California. They call it a ca. 1890 Forty and Co. English Banjo, and they're asking $350, including a chipboard case.

Dale, Forty & co was apparently a piano merchant, so they probably had someone else make it for them, but it looks very nice.

They also have an 1898 Fairbanks and Cole for $850 and a Van Epps with the original internal resonator.

does anyone need a banjo?

The Van Eps has been there for a good while, I've considered making them an offer.
