How the heck did the seller come up with the price £31.58 for the wrenches? Or £10.67 for the plectra? And £52,25 for the thing-a-ma-bob? Why the precision down to the penny? Whimsy? Or is there hidden logic applied here?

There appears to be British (and unmarked) knockoffs of the SSS patent thimble and Fitright pick.
I certainly would like to have the knockoff SSS thimble as a size reference.

It's a relatively new ebay thing. If a seller lists an item for £50, it then adds on the fees for the buyer (£2.70).

Yeah, I got the SSS patent thimble, and the other garbage that goes with it.

I'd be very curious to hear how you get on with it!

Here is a piece of music to go with it. Note the instructions at the Introduction : "Expression stop ON" and at the bottom of page 2 :"This arrangement cannot be rendered with good effect without an "SX" EXPRESSION STOP". David Milner (there were two,, father and son) were famous for their chord tremoloing. The Milners were quite well off and were in the business of selling seeds to farmers as well as playing the banjo. After living in Hull, they moved to Sheffield and remained active in the banjo world. I have often wondered if David Milner senior taught Kate Sampey to play the banjo as the Sampeys were a well to do, and very prominent, farming family who lived in Hawton Grange near Newark..
