Re: Orpheum No 1 banjo mandolin additional info needed
Here's descriptive info on a similar instrument sold by Retrofret in NYCity. You might contact them to get some idea of their selling price, although figure in that New York prices may be on the high side.
And here's a decent short article on Rettberg & Lange, 1897-1939 makers of Orpheum and Paramount banjos. Lots more info if you do a bit of Googling.
