    Description

    Here is an original vintage LEATHER banjo case stamped "Patented Fairbanks & Cole Makers, Boston Oct. 21. 84.".
    This case would be appropriate for a late 19th century 5-string banjo with an 11" or 12" rim. The case is sold AS IS because it needs some restitching at the top and some repair to end opening area. However it would make a very worthy restoration project. The leather seems to be in very good condition compared to other I have seen. The case also has the original handle.
    Your Fairbanks & Cole banjo would be very happy in this case!
    Specs as follows:
    Total exterior length - 37"; Diameter of rim area - 13-1/4"; Depth - 3-1/2".
