I 've see a similar tenor banjo  branded " Hartford " ; so we could think  this is  OK :

   " Emile Grimshaw, the famous author, composer, arranger and banjoist, severed connections with the Clifford Essex Company to form his own firm in conjunction with his son in 1933. Previous to this date he had sold banjos to his private pupils which he had made for him by Robert (“Bob”) Blake of Finchley, London. These instruments bore the mark " E.G." or "Hartford".  "

Wow! I saw for the first time the tenor banjo of this model. It is inspiring.
Thank you so much Marc.

My 5-string banjo so too, but I was surprised to instruments of quality in very clear sound.
