Peerless Tenor Banjo

Kind of a Garage Find:

Bacon & Day Peerless Tenor banjo from the late '20's

and something of an odd model.

Generally these banjos would have come with a full resonator

and flange, but this one seems to have had some sort of close-fitting back;

maybe wooden like similar models from 1920 or so or one of those nickel-plated jobs.

Little Wonder-Style Tone-Ring.

New calf-skin head, modern Planet pegs, Kluson tailpiece, original Best-Tone armrest.

Neck is dinged a bit, but straight with low action. minor fret-wear.
