Description
Please read entire listing before bidding:Up for bid is a vintage The Gibson Trapdoor Mandolin Banjo. This is my step mothers and I am selling it for her. All proceeds from this sale will go to her. I do not know about banjo's but I will describe the best I can. She believes it is from the 1920's and she thinks it was from 1924 but she is not for sure. I believe it has all original parts (not 100% sure) because she just used it for decoration, she did not play it. She actually picked it up at a garage sale a very long time ago. It has a serial # inside that is either 11016A, or 11010A or 11018A, I cant quite make out the last number before the A. One of the strings is missing and one string is broke (see pictures), so there are 6 strings on the banjo intact. It obviously has some nicks and scratches on the wood and marks & discoloration on the skin, being that is almost 100 years old. I do not see any cracks or breaks in the wood, only some scratches and marks. Please look at all the pictures, the first eight pics I took and the last four my stepmom took. I seen a similar banjo going for 00 on Reverb but was in better shape and it also came with the case. I do not have the case. Would be nice to restore or leave in it's antique state. Very nice antique that any Gibson Banjo collector would love.
