Description

Antique Banjo Bell Brand Parts-Incredible Art Piece With 18+ Names/Autographs!!.
The story we remember about this cool vintage banjo is it belonged to my Nana’s older brother who played in a band in the 1920s-30s in Columbus Ohio. Nana went to THE Ohio State University and majored in Music but we think she was too young to have played piano in his band then moved to Boston and met Grampa Ralph at the department store.
Lots of names on this fun piece of Americana
