Nice looking banjo here - with a vintage bump case. Check it out:

Disclaimer: I don't know the seller - have not seen the banjo.

I dont know about this one,the carving looks wrong,as does the pinecone inlay on the heel.
Just an instinctual reaction.

I noticed the flush fit resonator and wondered how it attached to the banjo? The banjo looks to be in excellent condition. It has a Presto tailpiece, but I did not notice why kind of tuners it had. Anyone know?

Not sure. But I know they did some odd-ball things in the mid 1920s. My 1925 Silver Bell number 2 is an example.
It is in Memphis - I was just there last week. My timing was bad - if I were going that way, I'd try to check it out in person.
That bump case is worth a good bit by itself.

"Pine cone" inlay looks to be the same design as on heel of my SB No3. Neck laminations look correct. Oxidation on metal parts look somewhat like oxidized silver. Unfortunately pics aren't very clear. Old case, but probably not original to banjo. Jim
