Antique S.S. Stewart Banjo Open Back 4 String

Description

Antique S.S. Stewart Banjo Open Back 4 String.
This is a nice antique SS Stewart four string open back banjo. I do not know much about musical instruments in general, but this caught my eye at an estate sale. It is marked on the back New York, not Philadelphia, so I presume it’s post-1800s. Maybe one of the early turn-of-the-century models after his son stepped in. You will likely know more than me. The “pot” or “basket” measures approximately 12.5” in diameter. The neck measures approximately 19”. There is one hook or bracket missing. The neck is a little loose. Other than that, again, I’m no expert, so please examine the pictures very carefully and check it out for yourself. I’m listing this instrument as is. Please also ask any questions you might have and I will do my best to answer them. I will be happy to provide more detailed pictures of any part of the instrument if you would like. Thank you for looking. Good luck!
