Hi...

I recently acquired a Buckbee banjo and have been working on restoring it. I've really only taken it apart and cleaned it up. It has a walnut fretboard, friction pegs, a round oak dowel, and is in good condition except for a new head, a bridge, strings, and a fastener to attach the tailpiece to the end of the dowel. It's marked JHB on the heel. Is there info available on Buckbee varieties? Is there a way to post photos here? Does anyone have a similar tailpiece with a pic of the fastener I don't have?
