The previous owner was the late grandfather of a friend of mine. Hello I have a Gibson banjo that I have been playing on for the past 6 months or so, yet I know little to nothing about it. Banjo came in dis-assembled for years, and sadly, some important pieces lost. I am cross-posting this from the regular instrument ID forum. This banjo was made by Gibson Inc., of Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1923. Missing orig co-rods, nuts 1 hook, 3 bracket nuts.
