Antique Banjos


In addition to having robust and unique sounds due to their age, antique banjos are impressive collectors' items.? This article profiles a few antique banjos recently spotted on the market.?



Two notable antique banjos are the Gibson four- and five-string banjos from the 1920s and 1930s, and the antique open-back banjos from before 1900. The Gibson Granada five-string solid archtop tone-ring banjo comes with its original tenor neck and both its original hard-shell case as well as a late '50s Ess and Ess five-string hard-shell case. This banjo showcases the famous Gibson tube and plate construction. Its tone ring is one of the earliest of archtops.



The original Kershner-engraved "Granada" tailpiece bears two patent dates: 12/29/14, and 5/9/16; one of the two gold-plated coordinator rods states that it?s ?pat. applied for.? The original resonator has the serial number enameled inside as well as stamped inside the rim. The head is worn, and the maple resonator shows wear and scratches on its back. The newer, matching maple five-string neck has its color accurately matched to the resonator. The neck, made by illustrious Tennessee maker Randy Wood, matches the original heart-and-flower inlays of the tenor. The hard-shell case is prewar with the tenor neck inside it and is included with this sale. This model would likely fetch upwards of $15,000 on the market.



The Gibson TB-3 tenor banjo, which can be converted to the RB3 five-string banjo, has its original metal parts gold plated. It has the famous forty-hole archtop with two-piece flange, whose rim appears to be mahogany while the original resonator is maple. The banjo shows normal signs of wear and comes with a replaced wooden armrest and an Oettinger four-finger tailpiece (which is not typical to find and not appropriate for a five-string). This can be sold with a replica five-string neck, made and installed with a traditional armrest and tailpiece. One will see and hear an absolutely gorgeous prewar Mastertone conversion, forty-hole archtop five-string. This antique banjo would likely sell for more than $7,000.
