For sale is a very cool old handcrafted 5-String Open Back Banjo from a local estate. The banjo head is 7" in diameter, and the instrument measures 26" long. It has one metal string and 4 nylon? strings. On the back of the head is written the name of Edna Wharton with a NJ address. I don't know if she was the builder or simply an owner. I am obviously not an expert on these instruments, but I welcome questions, which I will answer promptly as best I can. It weighs 1.5 pounds, and the shipping weight is 2-3 pounds. It will be packed carefully in a sturdy shipping box. Shippers charge a bit more for packages of this length, which is why the shipping price is a bit higher for this weight, but I never add any additional shipping or handling charge.

　　Please ask questions before bidding so that I can

　　insure you know exactly what you are bidding on.  Because I offer multiple pictures and

　　detailed descriptions and prompt reply to questions, I do not offer a standing

　　refund option.  However, if I made a mistake

　　(I am human), or you have a concern, please contact me, and I will do

　　everything reasonably possible to make it right, and my feedback reflects

　　that.  I want both us to come out winners

　　here.  You can expect the items I sell to

　　be smoke-free, unless I specifically state otherwise.

　　At your request, I will be happy to create a

　　combined shipping invoice on multiple purchases, subject to size/weight

　　restrictions or any other eBay policy limitations. However, eBay's Global

　　Shipping Program may limit combined shipping for international buyers. Also, I

　　am not ever able to provide international returns. As of 2019, many U.S. states

　　have begun to require that eBay sellers charge sales tax on purchases made from

　　residents of their state. If your state requires a sales tax payment, that tax

　　payment will show up on your invoice for final payment. I'm sorry about this

　　added cost, but it is a requirement of your state and not a cent goes to me.

　　Payment for purchases are expected within 3 days of auction end. Have fun.
