Here is a vintage 1950′s? Ivory Queen 5 string banjo. I believe these were made by George Houghton & Sons of Birmingham, as it has a gold embossed lion with ‘british made’ below. This was Houghtons stamp. It is in very good playing condition. It has a new vellum head and new geared tuners.

OLD OPEN BACK 5 FIVE STRING BANJO.

mannings — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 17:02:23 +0000

Here is an unusual open back 5 string banjo. It has a carved headstock and heel. The cast metal pot has an intricate pattern around it. The neck is mahogany with an ebony fingerboard. It is missing its inlay. One of the tuning pegs is bent but works OK. It has 26 tension hooks, 24 are new and 2 are original. The perch pole has an adjuster to alter the action. The vellum head is relatively new and shows no wear.

Overall a highly unusual 5 string banjo that plays well.

LYON & HEALY PICCOLO BANJO.

mannings — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 21:03:41 +0000

Circa 1910. The perchpole has the Lyon & Healy stamp, with next to it a metal badge engraved with “MYSTIC”, which is the model name. Looks to be all original apart from two replaced (period) nuts, & the pegs , which are modern friction type replacements. The neck is straight with no fingerboard/fret wear. It is a good player & sounds great in “C” tuning. Can be tuned to D with no problem as well.
Dimensions – Length = 24″ (61cm). Scale length = 17 1/4″ (44cm). Head size = 8″ (20.4cm). Width at nut = 1 3/16″ (3cm).
