“ Circa 1980′s Unmaked Boston Made”
”Every once in a while an instrument come along with absolutely no makers stamp at all. This instrument has all of the ear mares of the fabulous banjos made in the Boston area when the banjo was in its hey day. The fretless fingerboard is a slab of the blackest ebony and then decorated with snail shell inlay at positions 1, 3, 7, 12 and the end of the board.

The bottom edge of the rim is embellished with small pearl dots”
