Gibson tenor banjo serial numbers3/15/2024 I honestly don't think its been played for over 40 years. The banjo has only belonged to my grandfather, and it was passed down to my father after grandpa's passing. I don't know if that is normal for a banjo. It also has what I like to call a "whammy bar" damper type thing on the face. The neck and resonator are curly maple with gold etched metal hardware, some gold sparkle details, mother of pearl tuner knobs and mother of pearl inlays on the fret board. Pretty sure its also known as a "PT 24 1/2" All the serial numbers are matching. From what we can gather, its a 1929 Gibson model PT-6 plectrum tenor. My dad has "blessed" me with the task of getting his father's 1929 Gibson banjo appraised. I'm brand new to the forum so please forgive any dumb mistakes I might play in regards to where I'm posting things and I'm also not a musician so if I butcher some of the verbage, I do apologize for that also.
