Hi all. I recently got this George P Matthew fretless banjo. 11 1/8 head. Has had some restoration work, e.g. wooden friction pegs replaced except for the 5th, part of fingerboard filled in... It plays wonderfully -- as well as the photos, I linked a video of me playing it. I estimated the date as c. 1890? Best, Steven
