    Description

    A vintage 1920s Richter Mfg Co Banjo. It has an original sticker on peghead and inside the pot (you can see it if you remove the resonator.
    It is 20 1/2" long. The resonator is 8 1/4" across.
    Ok, I know almost nothing about banjos (actually nothing that I haven't learned in last ten minutes thanks to googling). Below is a list of all the flaws or potential I think I see in it. Look at the photos and contact me with any questions if you think I missed something.
    There maybe a crack that has been repaired toward the base of the neck, I am not sure, look at the photos, there also seems to be a repaired hairline in the resonator near the bridge and it looks like a piece of veneer came off the edge of the resonator on the tailpiece side of it. There is a wide scratch on the back of the neck. There scratches on the back of the resonator. of The bridge looks to have been replaced by a prior owner, as does the tailpiece. I think the fingerboard has been painted with a brown paint, probably to cover up wear from use. There are also some nicks in wood on the tops and sides of the peghead. There are some small scuffs to the edge of the drumhead. Again look at the photos.
    This banjo does not have a case.
    Thanks for looking and feel free to make an offer.
