Hi.
this is my first dive into the vintage instrument for banjos and Bacon. I read a massive amount of threads on this BH forum about bacons to get educated. So much knowledge. I was curious if any could help me place the year on this banjo and any other neat info on this model. I read it might be near 1922-24 or 25 with the serial number and the super blue ribbon being an evolution made for a short time until the silver belle arrived.
Any info appreciated. It looks all original to me... but I have no experience in this realm.
here is a bunch of photos. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/re9xewme451s5f8/AAC2p3SFEtBDYMiBOiwtxn0va?dl=0
