Banjo For Sale
"Fred Bacon Special"
Here is an excerpt from a Bacon historian on these banjos.
Thanks PC
" This era of Bacon Banjos are models that Bacon made himself along with his new wife in Newfane, VT.
After he got bought out of his own company in 1932, he dabbled with left over parts shipped to him, or taken when he left; they were apparently sold to student of his.
Some are even personally signed by him on the dowel."
