An Early Fairbanks Whyte Laydie #2 banjo from 1905.
Fancy, bold and crisp pearl engraving, possibly by Consalvi.
There is some playing wear, neck has been refinished, action has been adjusted.
This banjo has The Sound!
Offered pretty much AS-FOUND, but no major issues... Good set of planetary geared pegs.
Original tailpiece, possibly by Kerschner.
Fiberskyn Head.
Very Nice double-arch hard-shell case.
