Re: A C Fairbanks Banjo Mandolin 1909?
It looks pretty much all correct but, I agree with Mike, spun over rims were not a not “Little Wonder” trait that I have ever seen.
When you consider that the head needs to be adjusted for humidity and temperature (well, hide heads more) there had to be a “notch” at the heel to allow freedom of movement. My guess is that the seller does not speak”banjo” fluently. Sadly, I speak more Banjo than is good for a mandolin player, sometimes.
Price does not seem at all bad, have some fun with it!
