This 1925 Vega Style M Banjo is part of Jim's Collection... Purchased 10 years ago and has been housed in his humidity controlled room.
I'm pretty sure it's a tub-a-phone Style M but "tubaphone" is not marked any where on the banjo.
Recently gone over by our tech it is playing great and the tuning pegs are firm.
The Case handle is broken and the case has been repaired with black tape (pictured) but the wood is sound and doesn't have the musty smell most old cases have
The head isn't original but it is a natural skin head.
