Attached is a posed formal photo of my wife's great-great-great-uncle and his son. Judging from the apparant ages of father and son we guess that it is from the early to mid 1890's. We have no idea if either of the subjects actually played the banjo. But Dad's banjo looks like a decent instrument, so it (or both) may not be studio props.
Can anyone identify the banjo(s)?
I know I could try the Banjo Hangout board but I am known over there as someone who abandonned the 5-string banjo and thus, you know, strange and highly suspect.
