Antique Washburn Open Back Banjo For Restoration

Description

This is a Washburn banjo from around 1900.  Needs one of the pearl inlays replaced.  The inlays that are there are absolutely beautiful.  The Pearl is the highest quality and glows like fire when moved against the light.  Nut, fifth string peg, bridge and tailpiece are also missing.  The shoes, hooks and nuts are "Imperial" and are rare.  All original and there except for a small shoe collar that can be seen in the picture.  Pot in good shape with thick plating.  The Ebony heel cap has a crack in it.  Several small things needed to restore this banjo completely, fortunately nothing structural or complicated necessary.  Original case not available but will be packed to assure safe delivery. Shipping to the lower 48 states.
